The Lord is blessing

The garden is doing so well that we feel truly blessed. The rain that has wrecked havoc across the midwest and the hot weather has coupled together for great growing conditions in the garden. I feel horrible though when I see the farmers' fields and other people's gardens. It is humbling to see my garden doing so well. May the Lord continue to bless it! Have been seeing little toads in the yard. So the boys and I are putting them in the gardens. I planted some cucumbers where I had planted some cannas. THe cannas weren't growing so I planted cucumbers there instead. They are coming up fine. Cut some of my chicken fence mater cages in half. They were too tall to reach down into and pull weeds. So I got 4 cages out of 2, and put the new 2 around some maters that were cageless. Hubby talked about building two new raised beds for me this summer, so they will be ready to plant in next spring. He's going to make them bigger than the other two. They are 8'x4'. The new ones will be 8'x8' or something like that. I am going to put my strawberry plants in one. It will keep out the bunnies. Looking forward to it! Bless my dear hubby! :)
