In The Garden

Good morning ! Thought I would show you some of whats going on in my yard ..I got this ladder at an estate sale last week , and had the bird feeder from another estate sale last year , so my son screwed them together ..I put it in my blackberry patch and added a basket and bucket of flowers to the steps. The birds were already eating from it this morning . I am still trying to decide if I want to paint it or just let the wood weather.. Can't wait for that sunflower to open next to it ..Its a huge one !

My potatoes in pots have done great so far this year ...I got 10-1/2 pounds of yukon gold and white potatoes.. and a couple purple ones :) out of 3 small pots ..

Five pounds of red potatoes out of a large and medium pot. I still have 2 more big pots that will be ready soon , plus I have planted the pots again hoping for another crop ! These potatoes are so good ! Love them boiled with parsley and butter , and the kids love them cut up and fried !

I have been getting tons of zucchini and yellow squash , so I have made 2 big batches of zucchini casserole and put it in freezer bags for the winter.. We love this stuff and I am hoping that it will still be good after freezing. I left off the cheese , I will do that when I warm it up ..

This is 2 days worth of squash from the garden .. Last year I barely had any ..this year ALOT..My tomato plants are not doing well.. from what I read they have blight.. Too wet this year at first with so much heavy rain is what did it I think . I am still getting tomatoes but I don't think I will have as many as I usually get .

I finished the December wordplay, from With Thy Needle and Thread .. Only 2 months left and they will all be finished .. NOvember and January are the ones I have left :)

I picked my first bouquet of zinnias ..I can't even tell you how much I love going out every morning to see whats blooming ! Aren't the lime green ones pretty ? Look at this double headed zinnia ..two flowers on one stem !
