A view of the garden beds just after planting in early June...	...and the same view, seven weeks later.	A glimpse of new transplants from the Growing Gardens plants sale.

Despite a late start to the season, the veggies and flowers were doing well by August.	Our new sign in the foreground, a bed full of food behind.	A squash tendril hoping to make friends with a marigold.

Cabbage, carrots, and beets all growing together.	Ornamental flowers help attract pollinators and people.	A honey bee doing its thing.
