In our main flower garden... our first Aster bloomed yesterday! It is pink with a wild 
Doctor Seuss stem.

Last year when we had the pigs during the summer, a local farm gave away all of their ''old'' 
produce. We fed it to the pigs who adored it. But this year... we now have at least four huge zucchini plants, five tomato plants and a few pepper plants. All because of the seeds from the veggies the pigs ate. I now know why farmers try and get ride of zucchini!
