June Garden

June has got to be my most favorite month of the year. All of our hard work in the gardens pays off as the flowers put on their display and the vegetables beds show promise of fresh food to come.

 This year has been a bit of a challenge because of the lack of rain. The weatherman is saying this is the driest spring since 1988. Well, we know all about that! Our old shallow well dried up that year and we had to have a new one drilled. We now have enough water to keep things going, but I still feel a little leery of overdoing it.

I  love all these different varieties of sage.

Belinda's Dream rose, fennel

The vegetable garden pictures were actually taken about 2 weeks ago and are much further along. We will be harvesting beans, squash, and peppers soon.

Love the fresh salads every day.

The central bed is just for pretty:)

My husband loves pickled peppers.

These squash plants are about double this size now.

And the tomatoes have color on them. Ripe by the 4th? I hope!

 The garden brings me so much pleasure and I especially like to share it with people. I hope you enjoyed seeing it!
