Hello out there! Another short and sweet post.. so many reasons, I could go on and on, but I’m going to focus on the garden today.
Things are cooking, growing, producing, blooming… not at the usual July 31st rate, but that’s okay.
My favorite border has started to come into full bloom.This is kind of a wild and crazy space…
We’ve been eating lots of beans.
The first broccoli flower is starting to appear.
A tomatillo self-seeded from last year… 
The peppers finally found their mojo!
Definitely a good thing!
We managed to stake and cage the most precious of the tomato plants last weekend. I have many growing kind of wildly and enough that are up off of the ground and well trimmed to keep me happy.
A blog that I follow (I’m sorry that I can’t remember which one) just talked about this year being the year of the tomato in their garden. We’re having the year of the onion here. Who would have thought?
Sweet…
Early girls are starting to turn pink… we will have tomatoes this year, I know we will!
The opal basil rebounded nicely. I had completely given up hope on this. It was so spindly and small that I could barely see it a few weeks ago. Never underestimate the magic out here folks! 
Dill is the same way… it’s everywhere.
I love growing dill.
I do think that if it’s not eaten by critters we may have lots of eggplant soon. We’re not eggplant eaters, but we’re good sharers.
Black eye susan are everywhere, in all of their sunshiny glory! 
Here’s the view looking down.
Lots of love to all of you! Thanks so so much for stopping by!
