Another one...⁣
-⁣
The sunflowers are sooo close. ⁣
-⁣
I always think of sunflowers as a fall flower and to see them almost in bloom makes me want the days to slow down. ⁣
-⁣
What do you think? Sunflowers, summer flowers or fall flowers?

What are those? Lemons?⁣
-⁣
We have gotten a lot of questions lately about our tomatoes. Yes, these are tomatoes, they are paste/sauce tomatoes.⁣
-⁣
We don't eat a lot of tomatoes on sandwiches or in salads, but we eat them in sauces and salsas. So we are growing what we eat. ⁣
-⁣
Once they are ripe we will cook them and start preserving them (most likely canning).

Buzy Bee!!⁣ -⁣ It is amazing how nature works.

Buzy Bee!!⁣
-⁣
It is amazing how nature works. We added so many flowers and gardens to our yard this year and with them came all of the pollinators. ⁣
-⁣
We love seeing them buzzing around, working hard.

Dog Days of Summer!⁣
-⁣
Well, the hot days of summer are here and so are the Zinnias. I cut dozens of Zinnias each week and each one is even more beautiful than the next. ⁣
-⁣
I have so many I don't think I can choose a favorite.

Thief!!⁣

This cutie stole a strawberry while I was putting sunscreen on her siblings. ⁣
-⁣
At least she picked a red one. 🤦‍♀️

Missing the views⁣
-⁣
We are missing the mountain views from our last camping trip. There is just something so beautiful about them. ⁣
-⁣
What do you prefer mountains or beaches? let us know in the comments below.

Our flowers have really started to come in and I like them enough to start putting them together in bouquets. ⁣
-⁣
Stay tuned flowers will be on the market stand next week!

Getting Ready!!⁣ -⁣ I can feel it. We are so

Blessings⁣
-⁣
Granddad wanted to cut down this Rose of Sharon at the beginning of the year, well maybe not cut it down but give it a good pruning. He never got around to it and I have to say it was a blessing. ⁣
-⁣
This bush/tree has been blooming like crazy this summer and is just beautiful. I wish you could see it in person. It is a great reminder that something are better left alone.

Have you ever...⁣
-⁣
had an animal that you just met be mad at you from the very beginning?⁣
-⁣
This cow did not like us from the moment we walked past the pasture. She stared us down and refused to move!! At one point I thought she was going to charge and come after us. ⁣
-⁣
Never have I met an animal that didn't like us. hmmm

Family Time!!⁣ -⁣ Family time is so important

Family Time!!⁣
-⁣
Family time is so important to us. And not just the 6 of us spending time together. ⁣
-⁣
We define "family time" as spending time and doing things with the ones that we love, whether they are blood-related or not. ⁣
-⁣
To make family time happen we plan it and plan ahead that way if something happens plans can be changed. We also try to do everyday tasks as a family, ie going to the store, working in the garden, cleaning, cooking, etc. Not having everyone involved is quicker but we miss out on the lessons and quality time we have with each other. ⁣
-⁣
What is your favorite thing to do with your family? let us know in the comments below.

Short-Lived!!⁣
-⁣
Alanna's sunflowers started to bloom before we left on our last camping trip but... we had a really bad storm when we got back and they are now struggling. I did snap this picture in between storms and I am so thankful I did.

Swimming in tomatoes!!⁣
-⁣
Our tomato garden has really taken off. Every time you turn around there are more. In our opinion, it is all because of these trellis walls and keeping them pruned. ⁣
-⁣
How do you contain your tomatoes? let us know in the comments below.

How beautiful!!⁣
-⁣
Our hydrangeas in our front flower beds are going crazy this year!! The blooms are so full of color. And you hardly see any green because there are so many of them. ⁣
-⁣
I have been cutting a few to bring inside for our kitchen table. What is your favorite cut flower that you love admiring on your table?

What do you collect?⁣
-⁣
I have a love for blue mason jars. I have "collected" them for a while now and now that I have found a place to showcase them I am on a mission to collect more. ⁣

What is something that you collect? let us know in the comments.

Everything Pots!!⁣ -⁣ You don't have to design

Everything Pots!!⁣
-⁣
You don't have to designate a specific flower bed for a pollinator garden. There are many pollinator plants that can be grown in containers/pots. ⁣
-⁣
Check out the blog for some ideas. Each one is beautiful and will attract pollinators to your yard.

Growing and Organized!!⁣
-⁣
31 tomato plants were not going to be an easy thing to support but this trellis wall is perfect. Once installed we started tying our tomato to it and training them to climb the wall. ⁣
-⁣
This makes it easy to prune your tomatoes and gives them airflow so that they don't develop disease. ⁣
-⁣
Happy plants = Happy fruit!!

I wish you guys could smell these!!⁣

I love plants with a history and a story and this one has a story. ⁣
-⁣
My mom had received this gardenia from a friend years ago. Every year she insisted that we bring it inside when the weather got colder and we would take it back outside in the spring. The gardenia loved this and grew to a decent size. And was in a really BIG pot, to the point where last year we just couldn't bring it inside. We knew that we would probably lose the plant but it was just too big and we didn't have anywhere to put it. ⁣
-⁣
Well, it didn't die, it actually thrived!! It had new growth on it almost immediately when the weather turned and now it has the most amazing flowers that smell divine. I wish you could smell them. ⁣
-⁣
So, mom, your plant is doing great and won't be coming back inside anytime soon. 😉
