Sweet-peas about to bloom. CAN NOT WAIT.
Hostas, Echinacea (Knee Highs) Phlox Purple & Pale Purple almost White, Tomatoes (green zebra, san marzano, red brandywine, beefmaster, mortgage lifter, big boy growing, growing and french breakfast radishes, beets (I hope you make it as the root vegetables seems to struggle in the boxes) many varieties of lettuce (summer savory, radicchio, romaine, red oakleaf , butterhead - though my favorite arugula is done. Geraniums and basil (italian and thai) cilantro, oregano, sage, mint,chocolate mint, rosemary, parsley, chives, chamomile, lemon balm, catnip and marigolds. Pole Beans, Costata Romanesco Zucchini (which I like to sing in a funny Italian accent and wind up sounding like a loon). Cosmos and Nasturtium which are stubborn to bloom as is the hydrangea (wah!) roses (still a few) and neon pink. Jalapenos (soon I hope) Rainbow Chard and Red Chard, Lilies, A gorgeous Dahlia (my husband called it a weed - ha!) Black Eyed Susans, Clematis, Lavender (past bloom) Pansies ( a few still managed to survive the heat wave) lobelia, dianthus, vanilla spoon ( a white flower that I can't remember it's proper name), some peach flowers whose name escapes me - delicate and pretty, grapes, peaches, apples ( few out there on the tree), cherries (four), raspberries, rhubarb, currants and gooseberries, cantaloupe & blackberries ripening now.
I'm sure I forget many but, I think this gives you a good idea. A garden evolving each year a little different.

beautiful photos!
so excited for you, but mostly right now what i'm feeling is COMPLETE jealousy. i feel it every time you mention all the lovelies in your yard. those grapes! so awesome. i want to know how long it takes you to plant all these things every year...
Being a great lover of garden art, I enjoyed going through your blog.
eegads!! It all sounds fantastic! I LOVE sweet peas, too. Going to plant some next year. They're so old-fashioned and delicate and lovely. The flowers have suffered this year at our house; all the focus has been on the veg. It's awesome that you have so many fruits and berries!
great photos. those tomatoes look beautiful. between these photos and the one in the last post, it looks magical. so green and dewy and like perfect fairy living in the pictures. hope you're well.
thanks everyone!
kristi- we do it in stages and some of it just returns like the berries and other fruits and we really could do a lot more with it. it's a big job.
amelia plum- the previous post shows photos of my parents back yard which is much more fairy like then ours i think though i am thinking of turning a little spot into a 'real' fairy garden
You sure have a lot! You're photos are nice.
