Garden Greatness

Over the weekend, I was at home and as you know they have quite the garden going, and this is such an amazing time of year for a garden.  Mom has leeks growing in the back and if you don't know what the flower looks like, you must take a look!  Not only do you get a tasty vegetable in the garlic and onion family, but they also produce the most beautiful flowers!  I am obsessed!  (and aren't the buds the blooms come out of like little elf hats - so cute!)




And Harold has so many tomatoes growing everywhere - it's like a tomato jungle in the back.  I can't wait to taste them all!  It will be soon because there are baby tomatoes and buds all over the plants.  So exciting!  Why buy shelf-ripened produce, when you can grow it yourself for free?!!!
