Are We Farmers Yet?

Two more cantaloupe this morning. These are
the Hale's Best Jumbo.
I also planted some Charentais Melon but the
first one that was ready had these little brown hard
shelled bugs on it and they ate right into it along with
ants. So, I am waiting on another one
to ripen. 
Okra in the cantaloupe/watermelon patch.

Okra - Clemson Spineless. It is real smooth
to the touch. We had a batch of 4 okra last
week. I made a pot of soup with it. Hopefully
this time I'll get more than that at one time.
Getting my fall pots ready - the coleus looks
pretty good despite the heat. I pinched
more tops to start this pot.
Happy Birthday to my sister today!

Janice Brown Daylily

Flowers on our green bean plants.

Black Krim Heirloom tomato getting bigger. Can't wait to eat one. It seems like
we have been waiting a long time for tomatoes. The ones in the grocery
stores are just awful, in my opinion.

Janice Brown daylily. This one is a rebloomer.

Zarahemla daylily

I love this nastursium. I have gotten unusual colors this year.

Okra started from seed. Notice the little fly(?) on the leaf.


The sunflowers are starting to bloom. This one is Big Blush.


Cantaloupe started from seed.

Zinnia




White lily that was out front by the rocks. I moved it to the shade garden
which is all pastel colors.


I think the cherry tomatoes will be ready soon. I told my
husband, that if we had to depend on our garden for
food - we would be starving.
