Summer is really beginning to heat up and the garden is in near full swing. There is so much beauty in the summer garden. Enjoy!
The Chersonskaya squash is plumping up.
Burgess Buttercup (or Dakota Desert)
My first watermelon ever. This variety has a yellow flesh.
Violeta sweet potato. This is a first for me too.
I am getting lots of pole beans. These will be dried for soups.
Tons of tomatoes to come. Not a single red one yet!
Growing Up in the Garden 
What beautiful things you have in your garden! I’ve never tried sweet potatoes and am intrigued. Would love to hear how they turn out!
Thanks so much! This is my first time growing sweet potatoes. I know a woman, who is an amazing gardener, who had some extra seedlings. I had a little space, so I decided to give it a whirl. If all goes well, I think I will get about 6 potatoes. I will definitely update on the blog.
Just love seeing pictures of squash growing, so much fun and promise!
Yes. One of my favorite things to grow!
