It is almost July and we only have been able to put out tomatoes and onions so far this year.  The rain I spoke of in an earlier blog, has kept us from planting anything else.  In addition to the rain, our 16 passenger van broke down, that my husband uses to transport the Amish Community around.  Due to those two things, we just have not had time to plant anything else.  I had pepper plants bought and they have not survived.  We still have more onion sprouts to plant.  I have green bean seeds, among other seeds yet to plant.  Please pray that my garden gets set out before it gets to late in the summer to plant any more vegetables.  Well, God bless everyone on this website.  I pray your gardens, whether vegetables or flower gardens prosper!  Thank you for reading my blog.

I currently have uploaded all of my photos online that I have taken during the 2007 gardening season.  I have taken photos from the spring time to the present.  You will be able to see my husband’s and my progress in the garden, including some of the canning that we both have recently completed.  This year, we grew roma, beef steak, and Better boy tomatoes; jalapeño, chili, bell, Anaheim, banana and Habanero peppers; cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and broccoli; Sugar Snap peas, carrots, and radishes; spinach, Romaine, Black Seeded and leaf lettuce; red and white onions, green beans, okra, and corn; cucumbers, summer, and zucchini squash; pumpkin, water melon, and cantaloupe.  Of my entire garden, the only vegetables that did not produce, due to insects were the brussel sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli.  We did have only one head of broccoli and that is all.  Otherwise, our garden was truly blessed by the Lord.  Our neighbor’s gardens were blessed, as well.  This year has been a great year for planting and harvesting!   Please feel free to take a look at all my 2007 Garden Photos and enjoy what I have enjoyed this year! 
 

P.S.  As I finish my canning season, I may add a few more photos of the vegetables and fruits that I can during the 2007 Gardening Season!
