Garden work

After being gone for a week our garden needed some serious attention. We spent most of the afternoon working in our garden. It was a beautiful day; not too hot with a slight breeze. Everything is looking really great.

Love all the updates! I am so envious of your garden - especially the 80 tomatoes. I have one tomato on 3 plants. But I did see tons of peppers coming on. Your trip home makes me homesick for my childhood - there is nothing like growing up on a farm and visiting family. Nice look!

Appears you'll be doing some serious tomato canning!!! Holy 80 plants????? I thought I had too many tomatoes with 20 plants! But they are soooo good! Home canned tomatoes are SOO much better than store bought... Good luck!

Looks like a lot of FUN! I wish I had the talent or should I say patience for Gardening. My flower pots and flower bed in the front are just barely blooming, and I planted them almost 2 months ago!!!

Either you are going to have a lot of canning or you need a roadside stand. I love canned tomatoes as well, especially in the winter.
