This is the wine barrel of chicks and hens - from the starter that mom and dad brought out years ago! This has been my favorite plant since I remember see them as a little kid at Grandma Etta's and her beautiful garden
This is the out of control morning glory that surrounds the Jen's homemade compost pit. The other day Connor was asked to throw out the corn husks into the pit…the husks were in plastic bags. I told him to take the husks out of the bags and then take the pizza boxes and plastic bags to the garbage. I must not speak clear English – I found the husks still in the bags in the compost pit – along with the pizza boxes…well 1 out of 3 is a good average – for a baseball player.
These flowers are blooming from the vines too. All the vines are a continuous battle.
These were just cool plants Jen has growing out front.
The black berry and marion berry bushes are out of control. The blossoms are numerous – more than any previous year. Connor and I have been out twice to trim the flowerless shoots before the reach the oak tree's lower limbs (if the reach them then they grow up the tree). It now is time for a third session of trim-back.
The blueberries are ripening – I'm getting 2-3 handfuls a day now. With all the rain , the berries are HUGE – some are dime-size in diameter.

When you talk about all the plants and berries it makes my mouth water and my wallet cringe. You can't imagine what I have paid for blueberries this spring - cause they are supposed to make you smart. Not working
