Summer is finally here, although we've had chilly temperatures the last week. Makes my tomatoes and watermelons pout. A few of you asked for updated photos of the new vegetable garden as the season progressed, so here ya go. Thankfully, Mr. Moley has moved on to dig massive holes in yet...

Yeah, okay, so I'm just a bit prideful... but a couple of the gardens are just popping right now and are so pretty. We are expecting "severe" weather tomorrow, so I thought I'd better get some shots before they get too beat up. My peonies lasted 2 days before the rain hit - it's the same every...
