More baby veggies!

Cucumbers!



A banana pepper. Mom planted many varieties of peppers this year.



Japanese eggplant.



And the first tomatoes of the year! They're starting to ripen. We'll have a lot this year!




So far, Mom seems to be beating the bugs. There is some evidence that they've been eating the leaves of the squash, but Mom has been quick about capturing and killing any bug or eggs she sees. I haven't seen too many this year.

June garden, part two.

More lovelies, this time vegetables. Baby squash, peppers, and an onion flower.

This zucchini is just about ready to eat! One more day or so and it will be perfect.



I'm not sure what variety of squash this is. Probably winter squash.



The first of many, many peppers. Mom almost always grows more than we can eat. They usually get frozen. These are bell peppers. Several varieties of chilies are growing, too.



This is a bloomin' onion- but not the kind they serve at Outback! This is just the blossom on top- the onion underground is nearly ready to harvest. Mom grows red and sweet white onions.

Something I forgot yesterday...

That pretty orange flower is a Dahlia.

The pink ones were miniature roses.

Here come the lilies!

The entire back garden is covered with lilies, and they keep coming. There are lilies popping up everywhere in the front and back yards!









And other flowers are blooming, too...

New flowers!

Mom's roses are terrific this year. I think this is the first year she's had this much success! Some pictures:





The first lily of 2008. Many, many more are coming!



Finally, some columbines:
