Growing Vegetables and Flowers

The flowers and vegetable plants in our yard are getting so big!    The leaves on this squash plant are about 12" across.   H planted vegetables in the vintage washing machines this year instead of his usual...... flowers.

The plants are loaded with blooms,  so we should be enjoying fresh vegetables soon

The squash plant in the washing machine on the other side of the clothes line isn't quite as big,     

The green house is just gorgeous......

The flowers are blooming.....

and we have been enjoying fresh tomato's for a couple of weeks.....

The plants in containers are doing very well....


  You can see a couple of our cats looking at their bowls wondering when we will give them their treat for the night.     They have a large house and a dry food feeder behind the closed door on the left.

Isn't the trumpet vine beautiful this year?    We found a yellow trumpet vine this spring to plant on the other side of the tea room.....should be pretty next year.

H has another garden on the small side space that runs the length of the studio.    You can see the grape vines that are behind the studio.....and some of my junk that has been stashed back there out of sight.

Our hydrangea's......

The Oakleaf Hydrangea has it's first bloom of the season....
We went out yard sale...ing  today and I took a few photo's around town.    Loved the old tractor hidden in the bushes in this yard.....
Look at this cute play house....

Here is a close up.....

Enjoy your gardens this summer!

  1. It's all so beautiful and lush, Penny! I just noticed that California has been given aid due to the drought. I'm wondering how long I can keep my plants and grass alive. It's already looking so stressed... You are going to have some lovely veggies...for sure.
    I'm SO glad you like the wallpaper. It's not pink so..I wasn't think you would really care for it. It comes across rather soft..so..anyway, I am pleased you like it.

  7. Your garden is coming along very nicely,How lovely to have all those blooming plants!! I am not sure why we are having such troubles here other than we went to a new place for our veggie plants this year. The ones from seed seem to be doing well but the established plants not so much
