Well I realized today that it has been a while since I posted an update about our garden. There are some things that are coming up nicely...and then there are others that are being eaten by bugs. I am getting so frustrated with those little flea beetles! They have invaded my radishes, and have now appeared up in the front yard in my containers for bok choy, arugula, and endive. I feel like I have tried every organic way to get rid of them and still I am being defeated by the little buggers. But I keep going and rejoice in the ones they haven't gotten their grubby "hands" on.

The pumpkins are doing well, as are the cucumbers, watermelons, and potatoes. The cilantro is about 2.5 tacos worth :). I still have my tomatoes and peppers in containers waiting to be put in the ground. I have a perfect spot for them, I just need to clear out the weeds and millet.

We spent the morning in the garden and then when it got into the high 90's we decided to stay inside the rest of the day. One of our good friends, who just returned from vacation, invited us over for lunch and dinner. So I grabbed the French bread I made, the Garlic & Herb cheese spread, and a jar of granola (as a gift) and headed over to spend some quality time of friendship! It was a great day! The Lord has been providing some awesome friends that have come beside me and my hubby during our loss. And we are truly grateful.
