June in the Garden

I had to go home a few weeks ago for an interview so I snagged a few photos of my parent’s backyard while I was at it. The tomatoes were doing great and had a ‘doh’ moment and forgot to take any back with me to Beaumont. Anyway here’s a mini-tour. Hoping some are still on the vines when I get home at the end of next week.

The corner bed has become a jungle so I wanted to see how it felt looking up.

Hoping to get in the yard some when I get back and definitely hoping the tomatoes are still producing…I wanna eat some!
