The garden has been doing fabulously! The weather has been nice for it. And hopefully the deer and squirrels will leave all the vegetables alone. Two years ago, the squirrels totally stripped our corn, but since then the squirrel population has gone down around here. Probably because most of them died trying to eat our corn. =)

| we've got broccoli coming out our ears! |
 |
| our first harvest of peas |
 |
| the onions are there in the front. the bush beans we had to replant (I think the seeds were too old) but they're coming up now |
 |
the tomato plants are getting big but haven't produced any tomatoes yet, though I really don't care cause I don't like them anyway! Ok, I like the salsa Mom makes with them. |
 |
| little zucchini squash and summer squash are coming on! Zucchini bread, here we come! =D |
 |
| the corn is higher than my waist now! (the earliest planted, that is. we planted more later, which is about 10 or 12 inches high.) I remember Pap saying that it's good if your corn is "pocket high by the fourth of July" but that was for PA, of course! |
I tried to get the whole garden from the deck |
The two white boxes behind the garden in the above picture hold the latest additions to our "farm"--bees. Dad has been wanting to get bees for a while, and he finally did a few weeks ago. They won't produce any honey for about a year though. They have to build their hive or something, I guess. I don't know! But he has enjoyed "playing with the bees" as we call it. =)

| He looks like part of the Klu Klux Klan with that white hood on! |
 |
| He has to keep them supplied with sugar water. |
