Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

How does YOUR garden grow?
I guess gardening is like crafting in some ways... I put it in the same category as "making things with my hands." It is fun to see what a little bit of work will produce!


Our pear tree is just a little guy, but for the past two years he has been doing his very best to produce as many pears as his little branches can handle. We've been picking some here and there to ensure he doesn't hurt himself!


We've successfully grown bell peppers for about four years now -- look at this beauty!


This cherry tomato plant seems to think he is a tree. That is a six foot fence behind him!


Look at this little freak tomato! WEIRD.

What are YOU growing in your garden this year?
