Summer Time.

I have been busier than I thought this summer. It is so nice to have a yard that we can easily access. Our first apartment had a small backyard but you had to go a long distance just to use it... making it more of a hassle than enjoyable. Our second apartment had a small outdoor area but it was always filled with so many bugs. At our house now the deck is amazing. We sit outside and read often. I have coffee there on the weekends. I actually wish I was hanging out there right now.

I am surprised of how little work I do with the garden and how productive it has been. To be honest I get a bit lazy with long term projects. I did the planting with lots of coaxing from the husband. I weed way less than I should but luckily plants just want to grow! The tomatos are taller than me.. which makes them the biggest tomatoes I have ever grown (this is my third year growing them.) I harvested over twenty cucumbers the other day and there are so many more to pick! Lettuce is doing great, we eat beets all the time. The pepper plant just started getting babies and the lima beans are flowering! I am very pleased. We are already thinking about expanding the garden next year. I should probably get some fall seeds and start them soon! I'll probably put it off though.
