It's amazing how much everything has grown in just a month.

Front yard view:










Love-Lies-Bleeding and Broom corn.





A close up of Love-Lies-Bleeding

















View from the porch









Marigolds and a few weeds:








Pumpkin #1








Pumpkin #2





Both of these pumpkins are much larger than they look.




Butternut squash--there's about 7 on this single plant.








Flowerbed with Butternut Squash, Queen Anne's Lace and Love-Lies-Bleeding








The zucchini is doing well, but I've only picked one cucumber. The weather is a bit too cool here in Illinois for the cukes, I think.

Wow! It's really great. I need to plant some flowers around here. It would really cheer things up.

That looked like my front yard!!!!! Wait it is my front yard that I frequently cuss about pumpkins killing my grass......... You can take a girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl......

My mom used to do our garden, but her health is not so good, these days. Maybe I can do a better job, next year.
