So - after church today the family and I went to my folks' home to celebrate Father's Day.
Turns out it isn't Father's Day.
Oh well, at least we weren't late.
We enjoyed lunch that included cole slaw, green beans, and squash casserole -
all made with veggies fresh out of the garden.
We might just have to celebrate Father's Day again next week, you know, when it is really Father's Day.
The green-to-dirt ratio is shifting rapidly.
I love the way the garden looks now.
Very green and orderly.
The tomatoes are coming right along.
When these babies start ripening there are going to be lots of tomatoes to deal with.
Canned tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, sliced tomatoes, BLTs.
Mmmmm, sounds good to me!
This pretty silvery foliage belongs to the broccoli.
I asked Dad if it was going to be able to head before the heat gets to it.
He tells me that it is a heat-tolerant variety.
Good thing, it has been crazy hot lately.
Cute, huh?
The Grandma Parham's beans are producing now!
I love these beans.
I think these are the only green beans that I have actually craved.
The Grandmas Parham's beans start off with these cute little flowers...
And turn into these lovely magenta beans.
They turn green when you cook them, but they start off the prettiest color.
Speaking of pretty - this cabbage looks like a giant rose.
Just lovely.
Pretty darn tasty too.
