Summer Update

Just a few pics to show what we've been up to lately.  Last year, at Lily's fundraiser we bid on, and won a night at the Snowbird resort with two all-day passes for the summer stuff.  So, a week or so ago we went up and spent the night.  they had a concert going on all weekend so we were able to listen to that.  We also rode the tram up to the top of Snowbird, and there's still snow up there!  It was pretty windy and cool.  We also rode the Alpine slide while we were up there.

And of course, we also have some garden news.

three new peppers :)

ooh!  Our new lounge chairs - one the best purchases we've made so far!

Corn - on the front left one, there's an ear growing.  We've also got two or three more that I've found.

green beans growing fast now

Radishes and scallions

the spaghetti squash - it's HUGE!!  But no squash yet!

Cucumbers - we have three growing now.

More Garden News

Our garden is growing so much!  I swear, everyday its bigger and bigger - except for the strawberries and blueberries.  Pretty sure we've killed those off...

in the lower garden, on the left is the strawberry and blueberry plant....not doing so hot.  on the right side, the cucumbers are doing great :)

Radishes and scallions, with peas in the back.

l-r:  beans, carrots, peas, and in the back - corn

another picture of the corn - about 4' tall now!

view from the deck - shows the new rocks on the bottom, which are totally different than the rocks on the upper tiers..... we're going to bring in more rocks to 'blend'.  Also, our huge squash!

Love the corn :)

our only pepper so far.  We have 4 plants, but none of them have started growing peppers yet :(

This and That

A few things we've been up to this summer.  "We" decided (and by 'we', I mean Bryan, but anyway) to buy flowers to plant at the house this summer.  They looked so pretty when we bought and planted them....then, within a week, we practically killed them.  Bryan's been baby'ing them along, so we'll see if they actually recover.

 

Other random pics of the summer so far.
