Happy Hump Day !

I'm so glad it's Wednesday already. Can't wait for the 3 day weekend - we should have temps near 90 - so we'll be spending lots of time on the boat and the beach. We need to get Ginger on the boat. I'm not sure just how that will go since she still barks her head off when I'm in the pool. She's getting a little better each day, but as soon as we think she has calmed down about it she takes off running around and barking at me - she just doesn't get the whole water thing. It's pretty funny.
I planted a bunch of marigolds in the garden around my tomatoes (which are huge - and my cherry and grapes are turning already) and Ginger keeps eating the flowers off them. Oh yes,,,still eating my strawberries too - we race each other to the strawberry patch now cause the second I take my eyes off her she has her head stuffed in the plant rummaging for the red ones!!!! NOT FAIR! Then she freshens her breath with my parsley.
I've finally had a chance to get some photos of the garden here - I'm really happy with it. I think it looks great. Ive already picked over 3 pounds of string beans & probably more snap and snow peas. We've been doing lots of stir fry with the peas & tonite we ate our first kerbie. I pulled up what was left of the baby lettuce cause I needed the space for my peppers - and I've still got spinach growing for salads anyway. My zucchini are covered with flowers but don't have enough zuccs. HMMMmm maybe not enough pollinators - I know the soil is okay. I'm ready to go out there with a Q-tip in the morning when the flowers are open and cross pollinate them myself - whatever it takes.... I worked too hard to not have zuccs.
