Dad got the back terrace all lined out and the first blocks went in. The 'berry patch is now really well defined. (That's a joke!) But the raspberries are in and producing!

Dad had to leave and didn't finish the project so Keith and I completed putting the blocks on (Dad had already done the hard part) ~ and we had to hire someone to 'smooth the edges' hehee......


It really looks great out there. All smooth - no lumps and bumps - and the seed is already growing! By Labor Day - we should have a really nice little play spot in the 'orchard'! The fruit trees that Sallie planted the last 2 winters are really taking off. We had a lot of really good plums this year - the crows thought so too! They got most of them before we got a 'picker' for the ones we couldn't reach!


The pumpkins are taking over the world out back! We will have to go to the neighbors yard to pick the sunflowers... hehee!


They are trying to take over the radish bed and the other pumpkin bed. Talk about greedy!


And it's a great year for zucchini! I've baked and frozen bread, made brownies, and had lots of stir fry. Amanda took some home, Tim was 'gifted' with some, Sallie took all she wanted for now, and . . .


The beans are taking off. I hope someone really wants green beans really, really badly ~~


And ~~~ squash anyone?

This is just what Clint and I picked one morning. We've certainly got a bumper crop going!

Summer is progressing!! LOL
