So far our garden is growing like gangbusters. With the heat and the rain the plants are very happy. We're picking yellow crookneck squash and zucchinni daily. The green beans have blooms and we have green tomatoes. The broccoli is heading up as is the cabbage. In fact we should start eating some of that cabbage. I've taken some pics to share.

The flower garden is doing awesome. THe roses have never been more prolific. I guess it was all the rain. We haven't had to fight any pests but I hit everything with the fruit tree spray that I add some fish emulsion, seaweed extract, Messenger and Liquid Fence to every two weeks.

Our fruit trees are doing well. We lost one cherry this year. No known reason. We lost one apple too. I'm sure it was because it's feet were wet with the heavy rains. All the other apple trees are doing well. We have a lot of apples on our honeycrisp trees which are our favorites. We have loads of prunes, peaches and pears.

So, how is everyone else's garden doing? Got pics to share?
