And onto the rest of the garden!

Just some pictures to snapshot how the rest of the homestead is doing about half way through growing season.  Apparently I was so excited over the Giant Pumpkins, I forgot to get pictures of the regular pie pumpkins and jack o lanterns! I also forgot the carrots and onions! They are there though, I promise!

This is the berry box....
The garden huckleberry's.  2 plants survived.
 Raspberry bush, mini cherry tree, the cranberry plant and some sunflowers


This is the Herb Box
The giant head of cabbage and the Comfrey and the little gnome home for decoration.  Also hiding in there is the sage, peppermint, Calendula and Echinacea

The Overflow Box
 This is the Popcorn plants
 The Tomatoes are out of control.  Green Tomatoes, Big Boys, and Tomatillos are all combined here
 The Green Chili's.  And in the far right hand corner.......the giant pumpkin plants.


Everything else!
 This is the Peach tree we thought died.  It really didn't.  It gets bigger and bigger.

Big Garden!
 Green Beans!
 And more green beans. 
 And yet, more greenbeans! (We have 15 plants)

 One of about 7 Zucchini Plants!
 Our out of control Spearmint!
 Rosemary!
 And all of the cucumbers!  We have about 10 plants.
 Regular Sweet Corn!

The Greenhouse!
 The wild tomatoes that just randomly started growing!
 All of the peppers.  There is about 10 Bell Pepper plants, jalapeno's, sweet peppers and a habanero!
 Lettuce (round 2), arugula and radishes


And just because!
 Every year it seems, we have a wild something or another appear in the park by the house. I assume carried away by a bird from our yard.  One year it was a random stalk of corn.  Sometimes its an onion.  This year it happens to be a random sunflower.

And this is a Zinnia.  I am obsessed with its color.  I think its beautiful.
