During the evening yesterday, my family and i had some nice ham and cheese, grinders sandwiches, from Vocatura's restaurant :) the sandwiches were delicious! :) my dad and i walked around our yard, and gardens, checking the plants :) the gardens looked really cool, as the sunset hour began :) i love to see the sunflowers, leaning toward the sun, throughout the course of the day :) We've had some awesome sunshine this week, where the plants really enjoy that sunshine, warmth, and they spirit soar and grow, more and more, each and every day :) i've been soaking the plants, really good :) i'm very excited, and extremely happy, about next week, when we have family over, for the birthday party celebrations, we'll get to show everyone our yard, and gardens :) it's a great time too, the plants have reached MEGA GROWING stage in the season :)
All of the plants, are healthy, and happy :) i wanted to mention, about a sweet garden joy, that has really touched my heart this season :) back in early June, when we had a tomato plant, in an upside down planter, the plant's stem had broke, somehow, and i remember wanting so very much, to safe the plant :) i cut the stem above where it broke, and i then put that stem into organic potting soil, and watered it, in the greenhouse, and about a week later, i could tell, the plant was still alive, and now the plant is in our garden, and it's growing tomato plant blossoms!!! :) WOOT! :) YEAH!!! :) i am super pumped up about this :) the amazing growing energy, and healing energy of plants, is truly spectacular, and amazing :) i've done the same thing for sunflowers in past seasons, and it always amazes me, to see, the plants doing well :) it brings a garden happiness, and joy, that really excites my spirit :)
We're so happy, and excited, about the growing progress of the plants :) they're all doing so well, and are really flourishing with summer time spirit :) We have our pumpkin plants, gourds plants, all blossoming up, plus lots of nice tomatoes, peppers, string beans beginning to grow, and snap peas beginning to grow :) i get so excited, and pumped up, when i'm in our yard, and gardens, seeing the plants :) my dad and i feel this amazing proudness, when we see the plants doing this well :) the sunflowers, are growing absolutely wild, with reaching for the sweet blue summer sky :) every day, the plants seem to grow more and more :) many of our Kentucky wonder string beans plants, have began to grow amongst the fences, in our gardens, which is awesome, as they love to grow amongst the fences, and will begin to produce lots of string beans :) Really neat also, how the tomato plants, and pepper plants, are doing :) i think this is our biggest planting season we've ever had :) 34 tomato plants, and 24 pepper plants :) We hope for some nice bell peppers to grow :) i also am interested in seeing, if our onions sprout and grow :) it would be great to make a whole garden fresh salsa, with tomatoes, peppers, and onion, straight from the garden :) Thank you all for all of your beautiful comments, on our plants, and gardens :) it's a very special joy to our hearts, getting to share our yard, and gardens with everyone :)
