Gardening Success ... finally!

Kale, Parsely, Radishes. Romaine Lettuce & Spinach

Beans, Brussel Sprouts, Onions & Peppers

Tomatoes, Parsnips & Carrots

Our beans took a bit of a beating in a hail storm, as did the peppers.  There are still blossoms on them!  Tonight we'll be having a spinach salad with fresh spinach from our garden.  Yay!

I also discovered that the pump  on our fountain decided to die.  Hey ... it was close to 15 years old!  So off to the store to get a new pump.  Then I installed the new pump and cleaned the fountain.

Ooh!  Look!  Pretty fish!



Even the rest of the yard is flourishing.
Especially that grass!

I think this sums up that kind of a day:
