Musquee de Provence

I was trying to flip this one on to its bottom and it snapped off. Not to worry there are so many pumpkins in there I will have more than enough. I'm hoping it will turn orange. We'll see. I've never picked a green one before.

My swiss chard and my sad looking kale. I think something is eating it. I have more coming up. Plus some dill coming up as well that is hard to see.
James smelling roses at the garden. Mmmm....
This is me trying to get a photo of my squash/watermelon/pumpkins with James posing, but he decided at the last minute he wanted to look at the photos I already took. So, this is what I got. ;-)

First Pumpkin of 2008, Musquee, and Tomato

Awww.... Look at that, my first pumpkin, hopefully. The flower is still open so I don't know if it's been fertilized or not yet, but there is a male flower open at the same time, so cross your fingers. This will be a cinderella pumpkin (Rouge Vif d' Etampes ). Hope there will be two, one for Jen and one for us for Halloween, anymore than that I will see how it tastes cooked, then freeze the rest for Thanksgiving and Christmas pies.
Musquee de Provence. I just love the leaves, so cool. This will be an eating pumpkin.
My biggest tomato. Hopefully we will get something. There were so many varieties I wanted to try, I hope they pull through. I think this one is doing the best because it was totally taken out of that yucky soil that the others are still in when I transplanted them. I should have taken all that soil off all of them. Oh well, next time I will know, if this happens again. By the way it was Edna's Best potting soil I used for transplanting in. I should have used Peaceful Valley's Organic Potting soil like last year when my plants did so well.

My Container Garden and some Seedlings

Here is my container garden minus my banana plant. It is happily sitting in the somewhat shade to my left. Mostly mints that will need dividing next year, 1 hydrangea that I need to transplant, my rhubarb, and my sad looking rosemary (can't wait to finally plant it permanently).
Here is my chocolate flower plant that made it through the winter although it didn't bloom for me last year, it has a ton of blooms for me this year. Yeah!
My little pumpkin seedlings are emerging. Woot!
