The garden here is in full swing. We had a huge amount of rain last weekend--four inches--and a little more during the week. I took the Mantis out and did some roto-tilling when the soil was dry enough earlier this week, but the weeds are already coming back again. The tomatoes are getting big, the beans are getting tall, our peas are about done for the year, the corn is slowly getting tall, the sunflowers are coming along, potatoes will be ready to dig up soon. Flowers are beautiful after the rain. Enjoy a photo tour of a garden in the middle of a great growing season!

| Basil, thyme, oregano, sage...tastes like summer! |
 |
| Snap peas...these were so sweet and delicious! |

| Pumpkin on a stick, AKA ornamental eggplant. I'll let these dry on the plant and then use them for decorations. |

| Beautiful nasturtium. |
