A Rainy July

The people, animals, and some of the plants got tired of all the rain,
 but the ferns and hostas have never been happier.
 In the fall, I want to move the sad little hosta in the middle, and divide one of the huge dark green hostas from another bed in its place.
 This tomato picture is a week or so old, and they've grown even more.  So far, no tomatoes that we could eat, but the cherry and pear tomatoes are looking promising.
 The cucumber plants have yielded one perfect cuke with the promise of more to come.
 The pepper on the little plant is slowly turning red.
 Since I planted so late, I just put all the elephant ear bulbs Todd gave us in one big tub.  I'm thinking now that I shouldn't have put all my eggs in one basket - or ears in one tub.  It looks kind of cool though, and some of those leaves are giants!
 Don't be jealous of my gardening help.  He enjoys being outside participating...until it's time to take a nap in the AC!
 For a change of scenery last weekend, I moved my hammock to a couple of other trees.
 I was pleasantly surprised how much different the yard looks when viewed from a spot I don't often sit.
