My little garden book

Hey friends,

I've sat down here at least a dozen times lately to do a little blog post, get started then think, "yuk, who would want to read this boring stuff"!

Sometimes I feel like ending it all! Well, not all, just my blog. 

Guess I will muddle through and show you the only sunflower growing in my teeny tiny garden...and it volunteered and came up in the bean row...

10 feet it grew before sunflowers began opening...

It towers a good two feet above the eight foot garden fence and is such a happy sight for me.

How has your garden grown this summer?

My little garden struggled

through many hot dry days with no rain and now during the hot humid, "dog days of summer", we get late afternoon thunderstorms with hard downpours of rain causing limbs heavy with fruit to break.

Have you ever looked up from under an eggplant? I practically stood on my head to get this picture...

We have lots and lots of eggplants...

Lots of tomatoes too...and after all my picking I see another red one...

and so the teeny tiny garden is looking a little wind blown and ragged. The once, big pretty tomato plants have slid down the bamboo stakes and lay in piles. No pretty zinnias to show off this summer...not one seed sprouted.

Thank you Mr. Sunflower! and yay!! Look who was waiting for me just outside the gate...

Old sweet yellow eyes. Of course, the walk back to the house took twice as long with this kitty cat weaving in and out of every step. 

If you're still here friends, I thank you. 

Love, Henny
