So here is my first sunflower of the year. I took this first two pics standing in the back of my truck.

I do not have bird feeders, but we do have numerous bird baths.Anyone else have birdfeeders? I enjoy my avian company as much as my plants.
What we do also have are bee houses( not hives like so many of my family keeps asking me).

My dad's garden as of a week ago.
We have pumpkins, peppers, green beans, tomatoes, muss melon, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, summer squash, winter squash, eggplant, sunflowers, other flowers I can't recall, I'm sure I'm missing something lol.
We picked a couple bags of green beans the other day.
Cooking them up right now and I'll be making green bean salad as a side tonight.

That’s not a garden, that’s a farm!!

Ha yes it is a farm but he only uses one field out of the 42 acres anymore since he is in his 70's and he calls it his garden. We also have a pool and old school house there.

I had quoted the post to the say same!!!!
Great stuff, my favorite flower.
Some if mine are 6 feet and still haven’t flowered yet, wth???
@MinnieM123 so, Mrs Willmark had me paint some more stones (in between the puttering in the garden and garage).
Looks like these are going in the front flower beds.
Not sure which she likes better, white on red, or red on the white...

❤Both painted rocks are just so CUTE. What a sweet gesture from you to Mrs. Willmark. I guess it would depend upon the specific plant or flower colors, which of the polka dot color schemes would complement the garden the best. Actually, both would probably go well in multiple locations.

We have bags of green beans and tons of zucchini.
Also got a couple tomatoes.
Most things need a few more days.

Does that make you a Duke?
Oh yes BTW and thus far I have eaten 6 carrots and more are coming along....but I can see what you mean, the orange ones grow the best and the purple and white ones are rather pathetic.....did you ever get Calvin and Hobbes refurbished!?!?!

Been seeing a lot of tigers, giants, monarchs and black swallowtails for weeks. Those Tigers host plant is actually the Tulip tree and they are the most boring sluggish caterpillars ever....I raised one once. Must be so they don't fall off the tops of the trees where they are usually laid.
Black Swallowtail pillars will devour your dill, parsley, carrots, anything in that family they are the least picky pillars!

No.
But I have read this book.
And Calvin and Hobbes are on the “to-do” list.
Just got back from the Kenosha Harbor Market and bought some fresh multi color carrots and golden beets.
Can wait to roast those.

Meanwhile we have been much too dry.
It was fine at first but some of the plants are starting to die now.
My dad hates to water because its not easy. It doesn't help that the forecast keeps calling for showers and then they don't materialize.
We're supposed to get rain tomorrow night into Monday. If we don't watering must be done.

I guess I should be careful what I wish for.
We got flooded with a freak storm.

Got a decent rain last weekend and it looked like it was headed into Willmark's area.....we got at least 2 inches.....I second a motion for garden update Minnie!
Awesome tomato stash RickySpanish! Love the variations.....
My second batch of lettuce is coming along nicely! It has gotten into the 50's last few nights and it's loving that.
