This Week In The Garden, Plus Draper Update

When you leave for 6 days, the garden can sure go crazy.  Thanks though to M for doing some hoeing in it while we were gone, or else it would have been totally out of control. 

 I saw vines running out of the beans before we left and said to J that I didn't think these beans were runners but he said they were.  So I tried to get the vines trained to the row.  But when we got back, they were all over the place and running into the peppers.  It was then I discovered it was a morning glory.  That was something to untangle. 

 The broccoli is finally starting to make a head.

 And the okra is beginning to take off. 

 The tomatoes are crazy wild.  J had them staked and looking so nice but now I don't think I can even walk down the rows. 

 And the cucumbers, there are just too many vines.  I had bought a 4 pack, but each spot had 2 plants so this is 8 plants total. 

 And they are going every which way. 

 I spent about half an hour untangling them from the impatiens, broccoli, tomatoes and okra. 

And look what I found, all sizes and shapes.  I thought they were suppose to be Burpless but they look like something else to me. 

 And my flower border is outdoing itself.  Can you tell I am partial to pinks and purples?

As for Draper, she is now the proud owner of 4 new shoes!  (yes, I spend more on horse shoes in a year than on my shoes for a life time, but those are my priorities.) She stood there like a pro.  Hopefully now, I will be able to start some outdoor riding and maybe even a trail ride.
