This gorgeous coral dahlia bloom showed up in my garden.
I never bought one that color, or planted any mixed bag of dahlia roots.
A lovely surprise!

Sending these to band camp tomorrow with daughter and granddaughter to share with all the others for lunch. They are overjoyed!!

Works great! I love it!

They just keep getting bigger and bigger!

Lots of color in the garden right now! More to come when the dahlias start to pop!

If you want butterflies in the garden, plant Tithonia! (Mexican Sunflowers) The butterflies love them!

This deformed (but no less gorgeous) yellow tomato managed to get itself trapped in the wire at a really tender age, and I didn’t notice, until it was too late to free it.

Today I will carefully cut it out and enjoy it with my lunch!

Nothing can take the place of planting, growing and harvesting your own fresh vegetables!! It’s so satisfying (and so healthy) to go out and pick fresh food to bring to the table!

July is veggie time here in the hills!
