Beautiful, Ticky!
We plant tomatoes, onions, and corn (which the squirrels eat before we can get it), but just enough to eat fresh. Also pumpkins and zinnias for fun.
I refuse to do home canning anymore. Maybe when I retire from my day job!

Ticky, your garden looks awesome and I'm very impressed with your skills as a gardener and a canner!

Re: Tend My Garden
Very very nice. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we had a HUGE garden every year and my Mom spent months canning stuff as it all was harvested. One of the reasons I swore I would never do it when I got older.
BTW--thought you had actually sent some of those zucchini to Indiana over the weekend, came home Saturday and found 3 big ones in a bag hanging on our door. My niece had been by and dropped them off, but for a minute I thought you really were putting them in cars, windows and mailboxes.

Lots of Sun Flowers in Kansas. Shoot, they are a secondary crop up north of us along highway 70. But I REALLY like that "exotic" one that ISN'T a sunflower. Are they as invasive as our variety? The normal ones sprout up just about everywhere around here, especially under bird feeders for some reason <LOL>
I'm posting a pic here as an attachment though it will probably reduce in size so that it isn't recognizable. It's part of our automatic pest control and sometimes mistakes people for PESTS.
I've tried to identify it from books and as near as I can tell, it is a Mississippi Kite. They either perch on power lines or the tops of trees or they are soaring while scouting for lunch. I love to watch them glide around effortlessly but there is power in them wings too! Fast as greased lightning! And they are VERY territorial and WILL actually attack humans if they get too close to the area where they are nesting!

Hubby has been building a deck in our backyard.
I thought I'd post some before and after pics.
The first one is Phase 1, which was completed last year.
Here's a photo of Phase 2, before and after.
