The Beginnings of Summer

My "Bob the Builder" has been at it again. This time the garden was the subject.

I have wanted to try raised bed garden boxes for a couple of years, and lucky me got them this year. This year is definitely an experimental year as we try to figure out how much we can plant in each box. Looks like this first box could have used a row in the middle.

Of course Bob the Builder couldn't leave an unfinished edge dividing the raised beds from the corn, so he enclosed the area for corn too.

We'll see how the tomatoes do climbing up a trellis. 

The beans seem to be coming along nicely.

This is my second attempt at cucumbers. The starter plants I bought died, so we're starting from seeds.

It looks like we'll be replanting some corn this weekend. I guess it's been too cold and wet for most of it to grow. The weeds are outgrowing what corn there is.

The true sign of the beginning of summer is seeing my Columbine in full bloom.

As well as the Clematis.

But my favorite part is being able to spread a little bit of blooms throughout the my home.

Awe, peonies! Is there anyone who doesn't love them!
