Visiting woodchucks, rabbits, a racoon and even a bear made gardening more difficult than usual this year. Still, on a sunny July day, it seems worth all the extra effort.

Those peppers are ready to go!
Salsa is in my future!
Everything looks lush. That wascally wabbit!
Yup, those wabbits are surely wascally. I have never seen so many in the yard as this year!
Dear Julie,
Your garden looks truly amazing (despite your losses to bunnies, bears, and other critters). I hope you are enjoying the fruits and vegetables of your labors. Your tomatillos make me dream of salsa and your basil of a fragrant pesto. Am getting very hungry now…π
Keep enjoying your gardening.
Best,
Tanja
Thank, Tanja. The tomatillos should be quite an adventure, as there are WAAAY more growing than I expected. π Every gardening year is so different, isn’t it?
I can’t really speak from experience, Julie, as we are only growing flowers and shrubs, and not veggies or fruits. But I know that certain vegetables are very generous and subsequently get shared among various friends. That’s what you might have to do with your bumper crop of tomatillos.
Hi Julie! I see that you’ve been busy! You have more veggies than the Kroger’s Market near me. You have a real veggie garden. Glad to hear from you. π
Hi H.J. Thanks for you kind words. Hope you are well and keeping as cool as possible this summer!
I’m well and keeping the AC running as much as the electric bill! Thank you, Julia. π
Your garden looks fabulous. I am still waiting for my peppers to get that size.
Thanks. Yes, it’s been a good year for peppers so far!
It’s been a good year for peppers!
