My Garden Has Some Color!

As most know - here in MA, it's been doing nothing but rain for the past who knows how long. I braved the sprinkling to take pictures today.

Here is my beloved Gretchen. She had another flower below that one, but there was a bug on it, so I went to flick it off and when I flicked, the flower flicked off too. I'm so sorry Gretchen! Gretchen also has some bird poop on her.

These are the Grape Tomatoes I planted from seeds. I honestly don't think these are going to take. We'll see.

Here a few tomatoes and my miracle cucumbers. I swear, these cucumbers were dead and then all of the sudden, there was life again.



And I can't forget about my butt shaped tomato. Mr. Butt is growing well. Even though he looks like a butt.


I thought I took a picture of our pumpkins (doing great!)...but I guess I didn't. My watermelon are all gone. Carrots - yeah, that was a joke. Tomatoes aren't doing too hot - but they are still alive. The old owners left some tomato cages here. During one of the many rains, I went out to check on them and noticed they were a little droopy. So I threw those in really quickly.

I live in MA too and I feel your pain. I JUST planted most of my seeds last week. The tomato and pepper plants that someone gave me still don't look as big as I think they should but at least I haven't killed them yet. We really need some sun!!!

Thanks for visiting my blog! I've been visiting your blog for a few weeks and have gotten some great tips and information. (That's why you're on my blog roll.) :) It's too bad that you're too far from a Market Basket to make it feasible for you. They really do have amazing prices! (I'm one of the people who voted for MB in your poll.) ;)
