I wish they stayed purple?!
These bean stalks are growing into the sky at the top of the mammoth sunflowers 🌻

Colorful harvest today!
Can’t wait to try the mini melons! They smell ahhhh-mazing like sweet honeydew and are supposed to taste like a cross between cantaloupe and honeydew melons! 🍈 



“Cucumis melo). A tiny and wondrous melon from the former Soviet Union. Vibrant color, intense sweet aroma, and juicy, honeydew-like flesh make this a favorite edible ornamental. Allow the vines to climb a trellis or fence, and you will be rewarded with luminous striped fruit about the size of a tennis ball. Its whimsical eye appeal and intoxicating scent will transform landscape and garden designs into a fairy land, but the fruit isn’t just photogenic; it’s also deliciously sweet and juicy! The vines produce a large yield, early in the season.”

It’s what I love about Sundays

Sometimes the best kind of abundance isn’t measured in dollars—it’s measured in a freezer full of homegrown food. 🌽💛

Fresh-picked sweet corn, blanched, vacuum-sealed, and frozen. A little hard work now means we’ll enjoy the taste of summer long after the garden is put to bed.

Grateful for the harvest, the hands that helped, and another season of growing.

A little morning garden beauty update!
I’m experimenting with many new types of vertical gardening this year. All of them seem to be working out well.
Check out this new variety of “snake” cucumber we are trying out-they grow an astonishing amount of inches every single day!
The only snakes I’m hoping to find in my garden this year 🤞🏻🐍🥒
