PIctureof the day #176

 I figured since I took pictures of my wild roses I should take some of the others around my yard.
 This one is really more like a peach color or salmon...sure looks really pink here.
 This one is funny because it looks a lot like the wild roses but it is not.
 My yellow ones that are dying already...too funny.
 Then I just went ahead and snapped some of the other flowers
 They very pretty!
 These are some we got at the Borah greenhouse last year...I don't think they did anything last year but they sure are pretty this year!
 Of course from the flowers I had to get the tomatoes and peppers
 From two angles
 And from there just to show how much the corn and potatoes have grown this week!  Crazy!
 Then to my weedy pumpkin sanctuary.  Yeah I know I need to weed
 But look at all these pumpkin plants...
 We haven't had this many is a long time...
 Our little sanctuary is working so far keep the squirrels out.
 I hope it continues when we get pumpkins!
We should have plenty this year!!!  Yahoo!  Did you know that when the pumpkins are small, like a little bouncy ball size, if you take a toothpick out and carve your name or a picture in it....it will grow bigger as the pumpkin grows.  It's pretty cook!

Crazy how much your garden grew while you were in Vegas. TJ had to go out and miracle ours to try and catch up and we are no where near close.

I forgot to say I am excited for the pumpkins! It is really cool to carve stuff in them. :)
