This Summer

Gardening got put on the back burner.  I've been busy growing something else:

As with Lila, I was sick as a dog except this time it started sooner and lasted longer.  I had a PICC line in my arm for 12 weeks delivering a constant stream of fluids and Zofran.  Thank goodness the worst is over and now I can enjoy feeling Little Sister kicking around inside of me.  She will be here in December.

So, all the summer seeds I started got set outside and those that survived the neglect and drought in their little pots finally went into the ground in early July.  Which means I'm just now getting little baby tomatoes and squash but I'm still hopeful to have a good harvest before we have a freeze.  Some seeds I'd put in the ground before I got sick just went nuts on their own so it has been nice to have some cucumbers and sunflowers.

I do love my veggies but that sunflower is easily the most spectacular thing I've ever grown from a seed!  Lila is doing well and continues to love to be outside.  She is my sweet garden helper.
