Garden Update

End of July Garden Update...
Wow, we have tons of green goin on!!!! The birdhouse gourd vines have busted out of their garden box, in fact they are creeping across our next door neighbors grass (they said they don't mind : )but that's about it green... no gourds yet... Our corn is getting taller, our squash is squashing, lots of yellow squash and zucchini, our cucumbers are a plenty, we have about 16 cantaloupe babies, green bean vines everywhere, no green beans though. Our tomatoes are finally starting to grow fruit, its just been way to hot... Some said it would not happen but... WE GREW ARTICHOKES : )
Cantaloupe in the front, growing wild and into the tomatoes and herb garden... green beans growing up the trellis, corn and tomatoes...

Birdnest gourds, they have a really soft minky leaf... the neighbor kids love to rub it, so do I...

The Pumpkin Patch... The rock wall you see was built with rocks from Dad Ray's house, thank you, I love having pieces of my family around me : )

Sorry, I guess I forgot to take pics of the Artichokes, I will post a pic tomorrow...
