Our Garden in June

These are my personal favorites so far, maybe because they are so HUGE! These are our mammoth sunflowers. When I was a beehive I read a poem in church for a talk about how we need to be like sunflowers because they follow the sun across the sky everywhere it moves during the day. We too need to follow the "Son" like this each day.

That poem has been very visual this year as you can see the plants lean into wherever the sun is in the sky. In the morning they are leaning to the east, and even when it is almost dark outside they lean into the west. Awesome examples of following the light!





This is our other giant plant. THE corn plant. All the rest of our corn is relatively the same size, except for this one. Why? I don't know, guess it got the tall genes from mom and dad.


Can't wait for these little berries to be red! Our friend Sam helped us acquire these strawberries. They have grown really well and are sending out their runners to put down roots in other places.


Other plants we are watching:
Zucchini
Yellow Squash
Lemon Cucumbers
Cucumbers
Radishes
Carrots
Pumpkins (probably need to pull some of them out, they may take over our sidewalk)
Tomatoes
Peppers
Green Beans
Cantaloupe
Peas
Spaghetti Squash
Weeds of every kind.... We need to get our hands to work
