I'm really falling down on the job keeping tabs on what we've done in the garden this year.
Most everything is planted and well up.  We have several rows of sweet corn, potatoes, peas, beets, spinach, tomatoes, peppers, okra, and summer and winter squash.

Jim rigged up a fence for the peas to grow on.  He's been wanting to do that for years.  He's doing a major weeding job out there today.

We have flowers in pots on the patio and on the front pillars. It's been raining nearly every day a little bit so they've been thriving.  I'm done with the first time through of the flower gardens that aren't undergoing a change this year. Yesterday Jim and Anthony widened one of the grass paths, which essentially makes one of the gardens smaller.  That makes less weeding for me, and easier mowing for Jim with the wider paths.  While they were working, I weeded, replanted displaced plants, and watered.  The guys killed two birds with one stone by removing sod that was threatening to meet in the middle of the back sidewalk and putting it in the wider paths.
Too bad I don't have a before and after photos.  We have more restructuring to do in those gardens and we want have it finished this summer.
