Update on the Garden

Yes, I know, still no solar panels for the lawnmower. The Littlest Giant takes up all my time these days. When I get a second that I am not changing diapers, I'll send for them. :)

The garden is coming along well. The most visible progress is in the Main Bed, where the sunflowers are at least 9 FEET tall. Yes, even over The Giants head. The flower heads have flipped over and the petals are this really cool burgundy color. I think my wife wanted that.



The corn is still only up to my shoulder, but each stalk has at least 2 ears on it. I can feel the kernels below the husk, so I know they are there, at least as long as the squirrels stay away from them.



Yes Virginia, you CAN grow tomatoes in my backyard! ;) They are all green at the moment, and one mutant 3 flower tomato had to be culled, but there is some progress. *crosses fingers*





Ok, I was getting a little impatient and pulled a carrot, seems to have a little while longer to go though.



Also, a potato(e) check. This one is not ready for prime time either, but its sooo cute! One of my cat hair providers adding to the supply IN the carpet is in the background.
