Like my new design?



And we cannot forget this little guy….

With the weather being cool one week, then blistering the next, my garden (and I) are confused. The only things that are prolific at the moment are the grasshoppers.

Can anyone tell me to what plant this flower belongs? I have two small plants in a long planter with my zuchini (won’t do that again) that never grew very tall, but there are now large blossoms.

My squash took off with the greenery all of a sudden after not producing much for a week and now I have four small squashes to look forward to
eating.


The watermelon planted next to the squash started out like gang-busters and had three melons, but only one reached any size at all…then the vines died. We cut it open last night to find a wonderful aroma, lots of adult seeds, but not much in the meat department.



 Most of my floral hanging baskets are in fair shape….



My pepper ring produced well. This photo was taken just after DD picked all of the bells off of the front pepper plant.

But…this is what most of the rest of my “garden” looks like…

Here it is…my 100th post! I almost don’t believe I have actually written 100 posts. In celebration of the event, we should have a cyber-party! What would a party be without prizes?

Recently, Mother Earth News revamped their website and is now including daily articles. The other day, while looking for ideas about alternative tomato cages, my search ended with the article, “Do-It-Yourself Tomato Cages” at Mother Earth.  

So, I have decided to place all of the names of people who comment on this post into a drawing for the gift of a subscription of “Mother Earth News”.  The contest begins immediately and will end at midnight on Monday, June 16th. 

UPDATE:

Would you like your name entered for the drawing twice? Just mention me on your blog, with a link back to the 100th post, and I will enter your name in the drawing twice. Just let me know by sending me an email or by mentioning it in your comment. Thanks everyone!

I am excited! My suggestion and photo submission for a frugal garden decorating hint and photo contest at www.ThriftyFun.com.
