Summer brings lots and lots of summer squash. Good old fashioned crook neck is one of my favorites. I didn't get any seeds planted, but I bought a few starts at our local garden store and now have plenty for us, the dogs, and the chickens!
The garlic is in bloom now. They have such neat-looking flowers.
The corn and pumpkins are looking great! They grow so well together! The corn is much darker green this year with it growing in the pumpkin vines. I'm convinced! This is a great way to grown them both! Another great trick from our Cherokee ancestors!
Here's a beautiful
pumpkin blossom.
This is a little rubel blueberry that had something happen to it during shipment. We thought for sure it was dead. But it looks like it is going to make it! I must say though that the rest of the blueberries we got from Hartmann's were the best plants I have ever received in the mail! Actually, they were even better than a lot of plants I see at nurseries! I will definitely be shopping with them in the future!Here's the blackberries
I still have not planted, sitting on the back patio. I may keep them in the shed over winter and plant them next spring. They have grown enough this year that maybe we'll get a few berries next year! I hope so! :)
The strawberries are producing like crazy already. We're getting
8 or so a day. Yay for strawberries!It won't be long before we can make strawberry cake, strawberry ice-cream, strawberry jam, strawberry sauce for cheesecake. Yummy!

Looks great. I'll have to try the pumpkin thing. We've has so much rain now that mine looked kinda sick this morning - also had wind last night.
