I thought I'd share some pics from the sunflowers along the road near my parents' house as well as some from our house!

How does our garden grow?

I thought it might be nice to share our little garden. Above are our sungold cherry tomatoes. They are super sweet and delicious! We've had a few to turn yellow and we munched them right away! Soon, they will be ready!

Here's the pic of the prized first one!

Dynamo waters religiously and fertilizes the plants! We have them in little square foot garden boxes!

We have three varieties of tomatoes, eggplant, two varieties of peppers, lettuce, and chives. We have one HUGE cherry tomato plant in a container by the back steps! There's one mater that's almost ready! The plant is taller than me and full of maters!

We have six raised beds that started out like this...

And, here are the three rows of sunflowers we planted last week!

They are just now peeking through the dirt! The ones we planted next to the garage are a few inches tall now! It isn't easy to see them in this pic, but they are there!

The yard is so beautiful this time of year! Everything is happy an blooming! Dynamo has worked hard watering every morning before work and every night after!

It takes lots of work to keep everything happy and healthy! We make a good team! Now, if Charlie could only stop running through the sunflower rows and tearing them up we would be fine! He loves fresh dirt!

Scenes from our yard...

There she was...disturbed from her rest by Dynamo and the weed eater the other day. I couldn't believe it when I saw her. We've had lots of praying mantises this year. Even itsy bitsy ones. This must be the biggest of all praying mantises! Then, after I snapped this photo I walked around to the patio and there he was...
And, I thought you might like to see these pictures. Dynamo has been very attentive to our raised bed filled with beautiful sunflowers. I think he's done a fantastic job. They are so pretty!
And, here's another...
We're finally getting some much needed rain! Our grass is trying to turn green again! Happy Thursday!
