Garden Update

Good-evening everyone! I hope you are all well and keeping cool in this sweltering heat!          I just wanted to share some photos of my deck garden.

First, just look at these beautiful flowers!

And these, trailing threw the railing.

Here are some bell peppers, such pretty colors.

Isn't this one pretty!

And look at these beauties!

How about some tomatoes!

Lots and lots of tomatoes! 

YUMMY!!!

Just look at them all!

I love fresh, ripe red tomatoes (yellow too) but I am going to have to make some fried green tomatoes, I love them!

And I just had to share a few photos of Clementine. She loves to lay on the lounge chair!

Doesn't she have a pretty coat!

And just look at that face! Clemmy is a real sweetie and she LOVES her TREATS!!!

I hope you enjoyed my garden update.  The cucumbers are still growing but getting a little thin. We have been picking lots of them. I use the herbs almost every day, I will have to dry some. We picked our blackberries and strawberries. The cantaloupe plants are loaded with blossoms. Oh yes, I found two tomato plants growing in my flowers so I re-potted them. We will have tomatoes into Fall.      Have a great evening and thank you for stopping by!
