It's time for another garden update for July! So I've included some photos of what's growing and coming along so far in my zone 5 garden. This first photo was taken during a severe dry spell, but the last garden photo was taken after a couple of great soaking rains came along. So thankful for the rain. I am also extremely happy owning two rain barrels which I'll show and talk about in a coming blog. They are a lifesaver to a garden, not to mention to a water bill. After all, one of the benefits to gardening is to save $$$ and the rain barrels certainly do that. They are also eco-friendly, but I am getting ahead of myself.
Enjoy the garden pics!

| Before the rain... |
 |
| You always have to watch peas. As soon as you see a bloom, the fruit's not far behind! I snacked on some today. |
 |
| It's crazy to have these in July, but our garden got put in late and I really wanted some for snacking. Besides, I got to use these nifty bamboo hoops which are perfect for the peas... |
 |
| I planted this once years ago and it comes up faithfully every year. I weed it actually. It tastes good, not exactly like spinach, but very close. It's reliable, doesn't mind hot weather AND the bugs leave it alone. A huge plus when gardening organically. |
 |
| I have two beautiful eggplants (Click to see them!) ready to be picked in a few more days...! |
 |
| Praying for a great crop this year to can for my own sauce... |
Thanks for taking the tour. I'll be showing harvested vegetables soon...blessings!
