Country Garden and Duckling update

My garden is slowing making progress. I have harvested some potatoes, an onion, lettuce, and a couple of carrots.
My onions are getting bigger everyday. I finally have a few green beans. Look that one I can almost pick!

My tomatoes and sunflower keep getting taller and taller. There are lots of green tomatoes, hopefully they will be red soon.  And this sunflowers, you can't tell from the picture, but I am standing on my tip toes with my arm stretched all the way above my head to take this picture. I would say it is way over six feet tall.

The purple potatoes, what can you say about purple potatoes?

Now Ducklings

These picture were taken today (8/13). Notice they are almost too big to all fit in the water dish. The were swimming carousel style. When they stand up they are pretty tall. They remind me of The Three Stooges, always bumping into each other and trying to hind behind each other.

  2. I really want ducks. What are you raising them for? Will they be laying eggs for you? I love that last photo.

    1. My main reason to get ducks is to help with the huge snug problem we have. I also hope that at least two are girls, so I will get eggs too.

    1. My kids are visiting their grandparents and have not seen the potatoes. I can't wait to have purple baked potatoes and see there reaction. They come home tomorrow so I think that is what we will have for dinner.
