Veggie report

Look what I spy...


Tomatoes are coming!


Peppers are coming!

But I think my garden legend is under a pile of crap in my dining room, so I can't tell you what kinds.

I also just discovered that I have at least two living clematis plants in my front yard garden bed! I planted about six of them a couple years ago, but they were tiny babies, we had no rain, and I couldn't keep up with keeping them alive. But with all the rain we've had this year so far (and thankfully most of it has been overnight ... I'm loving this summer in Chicagoland with warm days and cool nights) my garden is thriving (read: overgrown) and plants are growing which have no business being alive. This weekend I'll do some pruning and get a new lattice so I can show off those beautiful clematis flowers. They're a gorgeous deep red, too.
