Pleasant Mornings in the Garden

 

During the hottest days of summer we take our coffee out to the  garden, relax a little, work some more and pick a few things on our way back to the house. i put my coffee cup to work this morning when I noticed a few green beans to toss into something for lunch.

It always amazes me what lovely flowers a lot of vegetables have on them. These are Beans.

I settled for just 2 container Tomato plants this year and am eager to see how many tomatoes i get of each variety so that I will know what to plan for next year. 

 

I like to add one investment flower each year. This year it was this delphinium i put up by the tea tables.

Come fall it will be added to one of the flower beds for next year.

We were especially happy this year to be able to pick raspberries right up by tea table. In fact sometimes you can just turn your chair around and pick some.

Keep in mind, we didn't plan or plant this bush here. It just popped up from the back yard. We're enjoying the convince we know people that are allergic to bees so it will have to be trimmed back and transplanted elsewhere at the end of the season.

The daisies have been a nice addition too the garden as well and I've finally gotten back to drawing them again.

These are supposed to be perennial so I'm planning to move it over by one the lilac bushes this fall.

The raspberries keep coming like this everyday so the freezer and are bellies are filling up pretty fast and we also give away as many bushes and berries as we can every year.

I think you can see why I love my little garden so much even though it is really just a chunk of the driveway and a few planters.

I guess happiness is just in the way you look at things.

Keep Creating!
