The family spent sometime in the garden last night. I pulled weeds from around the watermelons and peppers while my hubby and Logan picked blueberries. This weekend i am going to try and create a way to get the watermelon off the ground. They are shadowed down there and may not be getting enough sun. I pulled out the cantaloupe vines. They had tons of flowers but not a single melon. The growing season isn't long enough to keep them growing, so I pulled them. I cut back the leaves on the zucchini and pumpkin fines. The pumpkins are taking over everything! I have pulled a few of the pumpkin vines as well, they were growing everywhere. I also cut some back so they will not grow any longer.








Tomatoes getting bigger:






Here are some pics of the garden as of last night.

We started walking around the perennial garden and found that the honey bees are having a ball rolling around the bee balm. At one point it seemed that every bloom has a bee on. There was close to a hundred honey bees doing their job.







I found a nice surprise in the perennial garden. My dahlias have started to bloom.





The latrias are blooming:



MOrning Glory Blossom



Hydrangea bloom, I only have 1. Since the first summer when it was full of blooms. I either get none or 1.




Blueberry picking:

















Blackberries starting to turn:






Of course I had to eat the berry just after I snapped this pic!

The potato leaves are gone but will find out tonight if any spuds survived:
