Rosie trots along with me on nearly every visit to the garden.
She stops and looks at the raised beds and sticks her nose in Herbs, just like me!
I love her to bits!
The many faces of Rosie!
Let’s check the garden Rosie!

Garden Beans–Magical colors
Royal Burgundy green beans.
A stunning purple color, good producer and nice sweet flavor.
A bowl of these doesn’t last long on the table! Great snack!

A few extra Herbs to take to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning.
Full Swing
July
When the garden really takes off, spilling over the edges of the raised beds.
Vegetables are getting ready to pick and enjoy! Well worth the work and the wait.
Peas and beans are ready for picking.
Farmers Market–Please No Plastic!
I needed reusable, washable bags to carry to the Farmers Market.
Something to tuck vegetables or a loaf of homemade bread into.
I threaded a cotton string through the all ready existing casing, now at the top of the bag.
Your new little bag can be tossed into the washing machine.
Good for the environment and so much cuter to carry!
You can use vintage towels for this project, or purchase new towels to stitch up these bags.
Enjoy!
Time to tie up the tomatoes
Tools for the trade!
Heirloom tomato plants grow up big and tall.
Heavy duty cages are needed and staking will help the plants from falling over.
I use jute string to tie up stalks that want to escape captivity.
The plants are getting heavy with tomatoes!
Pretty Pinches
The warmer weather this past week has helped the Basil grow.
Enjoying the first pinches for salads and sandwiches.

Flowering Kale
Though the Flowering Kale is edible, it is just to pretty to eat!
