My Garden

Just when I think my pumpkins are pretty much done, they surprise me! The vine is everywhere, even though it is starting to die back.  Just the other day I noticed a new baby pumpkin (below) starting to grow. The vine has stretched across the front yard in all directions. So, I guess it I will give it some more time. I have to admit, I get excited when I see the pumpkins. I grew them from seed! Brande had told me to soak the seeds first between wet paper towels, and then plant them. She was right. I know a lot of my garden will have to be cut back soon, but I still am enjoying it!

I love hollyhocks. They are so easy to grow as well. Each year they just pop up in random places. I haven't planted seeds or anything else. They are just free spirits, growing wherever they feel like it. I hope you have time to stop by and see us over the week-end. Our gardens are looking good, and Johnnye Merle's nursery out back has some great plants in right now. Be sure to check it out!
