Summer is in full swing around here! We'll enjoy "summer" temps into October usually, so there is still lots of hot days ahead of us to be filled with gardening and adventures in the sun. One of the things taking up most of our time is the garden, I truly love spending early mornings and evenings out here. It's been a while since we updated you guys on our garden, so we thought we would show you what it looks like now.
We've had some crops come and go and planted a few new things, like sunflowers and pumpkins.

Our tomatoes are finally ripe and look amazing! My only regret is not making the trellis taller.
We've been getting lots of cantaloupe from our plants! Delicious for breakfast. The stink bugs got our spaghetti squash so we planted mammoth sunflowers in our trellis instead.
Our basil got huge! Not to self really need to make pesto. I thought for sure we were going to lose this crazy squash plant to the stink bugs but after spraying it with Neem Oil and Castile Soap and sprinkling it with Diatomaceous Earth it's been doing great.

We planted Roma Beans which are big, flat and fat, unlike normal green beans. We get a huge basket full every couple of days.
In the next couple of weeks, we'll be planting lettuce and our fall veggies. Can't wait to pull out the seeds and plant some new stuff!
