The Best-Laid Plants: Midsummer update

Midsummer update

Things are looking good! The zinnias are prettily lining the fence just like I'd pictured.

The baby cucumbers are growing up.

And there are tons of eggplants and flowers.

We even got an umbrella that (by luck) goes with the lovely picnic table Eric's parents got us last year (thanks Roberta and Ron!). Sadly it's about 50 degrees too hot to enjoy them lately. And, to be fair, I'm not sure my stomach fits into the table any longer. But they're nice to look at, in the meantime...
