Our little garden is in full bloom! We planted a lot of vegetables this year, like the romaine lettuce above, and planted them in with our flower beds because we don't have a very large yard. I'm constantly amazed by the array of colors and textures from all of the different plants.
beautiful bright orange marigold
these purple cabbages are one of my favorites
they don't even look real! they are huge
and while there is no sign of any heads of cabbage popping up yet, I just love the purpley gray color of their enormous leaves
lambs ears, another one of my favorites. I love how soft and fuzzy the leaves are
and their blooms are so unique too
beautiful red and orange marigolds
Jeff's homage to his home state of Tennessee
one sunflower getting ready to bloom
and another almost ready to pop
hens and chicks are another of my favorites. these came from the plant that belonged to my great-grandma olive
and I love that they can grow in the tiniest spots
love the texture of sage leaves
and the blueish gray colors of broccoli
why hello, mr. bee
the cucumbers are taking over
aidan is looking for his favorites, tomatoes fresh from the garden
here are a few tomato babies!
and the dainty yellow flowers they come from
we're also growing corn, a first for us!
and God gave us this surprise plant, which is growing in our gravel driveway just at the edge of the foundation to our house. I think it's either a cucumber or a watermelon, but I'm not completely sure yet. The surprise plant is doing so well that we have decided to leave it where it's at. Time will tell what it is! What are you growing in your gardens this year?

Great shots, Heather. Ours aren't quite so far along yet, but they will be soon.
This is such a nice collection of pictures! I love the See Rock City - anyone who has traveled to Florida for vacation can relate to that. I also have hens and chicks that came from my mom many, many years ago.
