Summer Garden

Look at these fresh strawberries. They taste as good as they look.
Cherry, Roma, and Beefsteak tomatoes.
Bell Peppers in every color
I grew up eating fresh beets. My dad used to grow beets when I was a child so we would eat them often. I looove beats and was so happy that these did so well this year. This was the first time I grew them but it won't be the last. They are so pretty in the garden with their red leaves.
Green Beans by the hundreds.
Every kind of zucchini and squash you can imagine.
My spring/summer garden has been great this season. Although my corn didn't turn out so well, we had plenty of other vegetables to make up for it. I wish I could make this garden last through the summer, but with temperatures reaching 118, nothing can survive. I am looking forward to October when I can plant again. I'm thinking about starting with pumpkins in August and seeing how those do. Anyone know about growing pumpkins?
