First Flowers

It’s summer! Yesterday and today saw the first flowers in the vegetable garden (the garden went in late this year), and also the first blooms on the rose of sharon bushes that line the yard.

First rose of sharon bloom.

Zucchini flowers.

Cucumber leaves unfurling.

First tomato flowers - soon to be lovely yellow tomatoes.

Scale: that big pepper is about the size of my thumb right now. Each year I am surprised by the petite stature of pepper plants.
