Morning Nostriches! Todays garden pic is my towering sunflower! He’s bigger than me now, still no flower head on him, but I bet that’ll be glorious. #coffeechain

Morning Nostriches! Todays garden pic is beets. I only had a few of these actually come up, but they will be used as hubs loves them. #coffeechain

Morning Nostriches! Todays garden pic is back to the favorite! I was on vaca last week & pulled 4 monsters of these out of the garden, we had the baba ghanoush & eggplant Parmesan, it was a week of glorious feasts! #coffeechain

Morning Nostriches! Todays garden pic Is marigolds! They’re not actually in the garden, I put them in cinder blocks next to the garden, but they’re in the general garden area. #coffeechain

He’s a monster! I hope the flower lives up to the body

I try for one each year, sometimes I’m lucky, sometimes I’m not. This is a good year!

Mine are always hit or miss, this is a good year

I’m surprised at how much I like them

Actually he leans more towards pickling them. He’s a huge fan of pickled eggs & we’ve made a few batches so far this year. I never tired them prior to last month, but they’re pretty good

Morning Nostriches! Today’s garden pic is beans! They’re looking very tasty! Have these guys in a few beds so this isn’t the whole haul. My pole beans are not looking good. #coffeechain

Morning Nostriches! Todays garden pic is that ever growing sunflower! Dudes turning into a monster. I don’t think it’s in focus, but the background is my hay field, it’s drying out now, they’ll bale it later today. #coffeechain

Morning Nostriches! Today’s garden pic is the bed as a whole. I’ve got red peppers, basil, nasturtium, eggplant & there’s a few bush beans that haven’t come up yet. #coffeechain

Morning Nostriches! Todays garden pic is red Russian kale. This is a volunteer & it’s a monster! I’m cutting into it for breakfast. Trying to free up some space for a pepper it’s crowding. #coffeechain
