How does your garden grow?

I hope everyone has had a fantastic week! I am spending more time outside and less time by the computer, sorry for the lack of posts. I can just feel my energy being sucked out of me when I sit here for too long.

Anyway, I am feeling amazing this week. I am taking homeopathic pills for stress and nerves and I am doing more yoga. I am not sure what it is, but I am just super happy! Feeling a lot better emotionally!

I had the most amazing cantaloupe earlier this week. I even shared some with T and his father (they are working on our garage, residing and some other stuff). They agreed, hands down, most succulent cantaloupe they had ever had!
I also had this-happy looking-kale salad for dinner one night. I had yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, avocado and sprouts in it. How could anyone not be happy eating this? :)
I've been repeating most of my juices, so I don't take pictures of them, but this one was something different: kale stems, broccoli stems, lemon, apple celery and parsley. Refreshing and cooling, perfect for the muggy weather we've been having!
You are probably going to be shocked when you see the photos of my garden, it is growing uncontrollably from all the rain and heat! I keep telling T that people are thinking we use Miracle Grow or something, but this garden is all organic!
Here's a picture from the other side. You can see the tomato plants are growing out of control!
Some cucumbers are coming in! We are going to have so many, I am going to be juicing my brains out! Ahh!
Here's a not yet ripe tomato. I hope they are delicious Jersey tomatoes!! We are going to have to give some away, there will be so many!
No "weekly gab" this week, sorry! Have a lovely Fourth of July everyone!! We are going to a party at my sisters place on the river, we will be able to see fireworks there. I will try to take lots of pictures!

Woo Hoo! Three cheers for homeopathy! BIG believer here, and have been for years. Even my girl Maya gets treated with homeopathic remedies.

I love your garden. My dogs rip anything I plant in the ground out so I have had to grow things in pots. I have carrots growing right now. I keep pulling one out every week to see how much bigger they get. I cant wait to try them!
