Garden and Yard Updates

Here's a few photos of the yard and garden progress. I don't think I took the photos during the best time of day, but at least you can see that stuff is growing. We have sugar snap peas, carrots, marigolds, 5 tomato plants, lettuce, spinach, zucchini, onions, sweet peas, morning glory flowers, and some various annual flowers all planted here. The sugar snap peas are so large now that they are flopped over the back of the picket fence I have them climbing. I've been picking a handful of the peas to eat everyday and it looks like our yield will be increasing! We finally even have one little tomato starting to grow on the yellow pear tomato plant! The 4 tomato plants we started from seed are flowering, but no tomatoes yet. We shall see!
The black tube you see sticking up at the corner will eventually be a sprinkler head. The sprinkler system is still a work in progress, but we're getting there!

Front yard flowers. The hole by Dave and Julie's front door is the sprinkler system again. The black tube is the soaking system which hasn't been completed or buried yet. The flowers are pretty though!

Front view. As you can see we also have to tackle the strip of land right by the street. I think we're planning on shrubs and bark in that area.

Some petunias that are doing well. A few weeks ago I took the advice of a gardener friend and violently clipped them back to almost nothing. She promised they would come back much more full and healthy after the clipping. She was right!

The same gardener friend gave me some of this plant from her yard. I'm not sure what it is, but it is flowering pretty pink blossoms.
