Tomatoes!

And cucumbers, and green beans, and marigolds.  But first, our new tree!  And second, a new place for our picnic table.

The tree: a kousa dogwood planted coincidentally the morning that Anne's mother Ruth died.  We've ordered a plaque with her dates and the tree will be in her memory.

And the picnic table is now nearer the porch (duh!) and much more "user friendly."  We've already had folks over for bbq's and are enjoying the new set up immensely.

Garlic harvest

And the garden!  Let's hear it for garlic-planted last fall and harvested at the end of July.  Four different kinds-China Dawn, Russian Red, Georgia Fire and Leningrad.  Some large, some smaller, all delicious and very special!

What happened to the summer of 2013?

Well, we got married in October of 2013 and that sort of took precedence over the garden.  And of keeping the blog updated.

So in the next post I'll bring us up-to-date!
