I harvested a cucumber and a couple of peppers today. I’m a newer gardener so be nice. :x

I love the harvesting part of gardening, but what really makes me smile are the Bee's and... Tiger Swallowtails.

I have a pollinator party on Mushu’s grave and planted a bunch of lavender this year. My yard is a popular place.
 
Robieracer is a lavender junkie. We have almost 30 large plants.
I have about half a dozen babies along my driveway. That number may increase over time. I was weeding yesterday. Boo, weeds! But I sure did enjoy the smell.
 
No new pics to share but I'm happy to report that the Santa Rosa plums were AMAZING this year. I ended up dehydrated tons of them because we had so many. My cucumbers suck this year and I don't know why. Could be the new location. I had to move everything into a gated enclosure because, husky. She is a one dog demolition crew. Plants, shoes, hats, my lawn, orchids (WTF?).

My cucumbers are also being little bitches! What's up with that?

Look how cute my lil' eggplant are. :love

Here's a shot from today. 6 raised beds and a 70' x 25' garden along the green fence.
That big bushy thing in the center of the picture is a monster sun flower. It's over 7' tall already.
14' x 8' x 8.5' green house alongside the garage.
We growin' stuff!

Luv the guy wires on the telephone pole holding up the sunflower.

It looks like that, but the pole wires are in the alley, behind the fence. Nothing is holding the sunflower up besides perserverance.
 
I'm the exact opposite but thanks for the reminder that I need to start putting in flowers. I used to plant sunflowers until I realized they're basically rat food.
