Green Acres

The big update this week is the appearance of the first pea pods on these seven foot tall plants:



Meanwhile, the collards are growing vigorously:



And the lettuce is lettucing:



In other news, we found out that this plant growing out of a stick in the ground is a hibiscus:



And the Monster Rose Bush is in bloom again:



Also, this Sunday there was an eclipse. Adrienne made a viewer:


There were neat shadows on the side of the house:




And we inch ever closer to the replacement of the broken fence:


Meanwhile, inside the house, Zoey figured out how to get into the compost bin & steal chicken bones when we're not looking. Clever dog! Oh, I mean, bad dog! Bad dog!
