It is 8:30am and already over 75 degrees and very, very humid. There wasn't much to do in the garden since I gave the tomato plants a haircut. So I decided to snoop and see if i could find anything growing that was missed yesterday. WELL I found a few small surprises this morning.

My first pea is on the vine! I planted them late and they are starting to wilt but this little pea is growing.



My hot and sweet pepper plants are doing very well this year. They LOVE the seashell compost that I planted them in.

Here is a baby jalapenio:



I lost most of my brandywine plants before they were planted, when they got too hot and burned up but 3 survived and this one is doing great!





All the tomato plants are doing fabulously this year. Between the hot and humid weather and planting them in the tires they are growing so much better then I expected. Here are jsut a few shots of different plants.









My cukes are doing better then the past few years. they love the compost they are in and are starting to vine up the trellis my husband built.




Outside of the veggie patch I have several blooms.

The Clematis is still blooming and I am really enjoying its beauty. It was worth the 3 year wait!



My yellow rose has started blooming..it was slow to grow but it is beautiful.





The white roses are spent but more should be on the way. We got roses off it until fall last year.



The annuals that i planted in the tractor tire are doing really well. They love the full sun they get everyday.

Your garden looks very fresh, and your trellis is pretty. Did you manage to leave that pea pod sitting on the vine? I'd have eaten it on sight. *lol* Lovely clematis and flowers too!

I managed to keep the pea on the vine...I will see what it looks like tomorrow and then maybe eat it! My son loves peas so he may get the first one.

I love looking at your blog. Your garden is wonderful and inspiring. But its the walks in your garden that I like the most. With all the pictures it almost feels like I'm there. Love, Jeanie M.

Thanks for the latest veiw of your "tire garden" Looks like you'll get a good harvest. I wonder why the little ones love to pop fresh peas out of their pods and throw a fit at the broccoli on their plates.
