After I brought Logan to his summer school program this morning I took a walk through the garden. I think the Epsom salt treatment on the garden is already showing improvement. Everything is getting greener and looking much healthier. I picked a few peas and took off some of the leaves on overly bushy tomato plants. The watermelon and cantaloupe plants seem to be a lot larger then they were on Saturday. I found a few baby cucumbers as well. There are 3 and that is all the cucumbers that I got all of last summer! there a a lot more flowers on the vine and still at least 2 months of growing to do! YEAH! These plants I started inside, even the ones that I didn't start early are doing well. They must really thrive in the hot and humid weather.



My sunflowers are blooming...well one of the accidental ones in the asparagus patch is blooming...

1st day



2nd Day



the zucchini is doing well and has flowers on the plant in the tire and the plant in the ground has a baby.



Here are a few new flower blooms in my perennial beds.





Here is a picture of todays little harvest. There was about a pint of raspberries, a few peas and a tomato!

Nice indeed.
I love the way the Epsom salts is working out for you. Those raspberries and peas looks so good. There is really no substitute for harvesting ones very own home-grown produce.

Looks good enough to eat, except for the raspberries that is I don't like those...but I will join you for the pea and tomato salad for lunch.

Marvelous posting.
Your flowers and veggies are looking quite good.
I can tell that you are feeling pretty good about those cues, eh? But to tell you the truth, the news and all of the pics are showing a good progress.
I hope that things will continue to do well for you...I'm enjoying seeing the good pics that you show.
The sunflower looks really cheerful!
