Garden in Full Swing

The fall semester has begun, and it is time to say goodbye to my garden. Everything is looking great. The sunflowers are taking over the tiny sidewalk the mailman must somehow use to reach our mailbox. I like to picture Bobby Mac (the mailman) slashing his way through a jungle in order to deliver our mail. We are getting so many tomatoes now that my mom can't wait for me to be home on the weekends so I can take some back with me to school.



I hate being away from the garden when it is looking so wonderful and really putting out a lot of fruit, but it is that time of year again. It is sad to know that the cold weather is approaching and that soon the plants will be gone, but at the same time, this is when the anticipation for next year's garden begins. Time for seed saving and composting. Time to sketch out next year's garden. Time to figure out how I am going to fit those last couple of plants and seeds into a tiny, over-crowded garden. Time to share seeds with my fellow gardeners.

You can never have too many pictures of sunflowers.

hello, down there


There are just so many of these. I am completely satisfied with these sunflowers. I hope next year's garden can live up to these guys.


Praise the Lord. God really knows that he's doing.

Blinking. I like to take sunflower photographs on overcast days because somehow they seem even happier than usual. (if that is even possible)
