Here it is!!

The teeny tiny garden, such as it is....

A little square of corn, pole beans, cucumbers. The zucchini next to the pole beans volunteered and came up.

Probably need to wear my reading glasses up at the garden. The bean vines were simply hanging in beans that I hadn't noticed until this morning.

and here's the rest of this morning's little gathering.

Last night we had bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches made with the first Cherokee Purple tomato from the garden. It was really good. 

and our little square of corn which actually looks like might give us a few ears of corn. That would be a first!

I stopped trying to grow corn back in the early 90's when our garden spot was nothing but red clay. I nearly had a heat stroke, out trying to stand up the corn stalks that had blown over during a thunderstorm. Crawling around on my hands and knees packing clumps of red mud against the corn stalks.

Never again!! That's when I knew we had to change the color of the soil if we were ever going to have a decent garden. Fencing in the garden spot was the second best thing we ever did.

Bean vines that were picked this morning.

These three cucumber vines want to grow out instead up the tee pee.

little row of sunflowers and cosmos...

and a little row of zinnias from which only one has bloomed.

So I'm closing the gate to the teeny tiny garden now and going back inside to snap the beans and put them on to cook for supper.

Shelby and Jimmy, my sister and brother-in-law grow a garden big enough to feed Durham County (I exaggerate a tiny bit), therefore our garden is the "teeny tiny garden".  But it's all we need. 

Love,

Henny
