Zucchini blooms

My sunflowers are getting much taller.P7200144

This corn is pathetic.  I heard it should be as tall as an elephant's eye by the fourth of July - I had always thought it was "knee high by the fourth of July" - either way it's not even close

Summer Flowers

I did a lot of work in the garden today. I trimmed all of the bushes and the trees. I put up a trellis for the beans. Weeded some. I tied up the peas and the eucalyptus. And I ate a bunch of peas and strawberries.

You can hardly see the garden with everything growing so much.  Even the tree is getting bigger.

Can you see the peas over my head?  I had to jump to reach them.
