And summer vegetable harvest time is just starting to kick in. The full sun bed in front is leafy madness, and the tomato cage isn't doing it's job. IMG_4569

The backyard "winter garden" is now pretty well shaded by pecan trees, so I don't know how productive these guys will be. But we've got a jalapeno IMG_4550

A little pickling cucumber IMG_4551
And here are just a few plants that were looking happy after the rain. Mexican petunias are loving it here; can't wait for the burst of lavender. IMG_4554
