last day of school

our ritual of going out to breakfast together on the last day of school, making some family traditions (check out those pins on their matching jackets, thanks stef at blue yonder!)



the garden is overflowing, i have made many mistakes and am learning a lot. for one, the squash is bursting out and over everything. plant placement is key and i know exactly how to plant the summer stuff next year.




i think i like the artichokes better this way, didnt have much luck cooking them this year




my favorite neighbor's plot, her garden brings tears to my eyes... i love it so much


her sunflowers tower overhead, she has beans strapped in between. there are hidden flowers at every turn and a gazebo draped in honeysuckle, ahhh... inspiration for next year!


here is some squash busting through a tomato


these round carrots werent coming up so i reseaded with beets... now i have beets and carrots mixed


finally, here are the pumpkins coming up, i wonder if they will make it to halloween? like i said, i am learning a lot. happy last day of school! we are off to ride bikes until the sun sets and forces us inside.
