Well, my very first post on my new blog!

I've been meaning to start a new blog about my gardening, both vegetable and flower gardening. Or even just plain old things that have to do with the outdoor world!

Here are some recent photos of my garden.

Our surprise vegetable plant turned out to be pumpkins! The only thing is there are some nasty white/grey bugs that are eating them.

I wanted to capture the evidence that squirrels have been eating most of our big boy tomatoes, and here he is! (You can see the dropped tomato in the previous photo). Those darn critters!

Here are some little, tiny peppers that are growing in our garden. They are so pretty, but are they even worth cutting down to eat?

My butterfly garden I planted in 2010, is doing okay this year. There hasn't been much rain, and I don't want to water them, so they haven't been doing as well this summer.

Here are some Sedum that are starting to turn colors:

And some zinna flowers are starting to come back from last year:

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to post more later this week. Enjoy the weather out there!
