Snail's trail is a finished top now, just 10 days from the first blocks being cut to finished sewing. I will be looking for a backing today. It is 60" x 84". All regular printed cotton fabrics, no batik. 6.25 yards out of my brown/rust/gold stash. While I was cutting for this one I also cut a 2.5" strip for a future quilt from the larger pieces.
I went out to check on the tomato plants and found this big Rutgers tomato with 2 bites ouf of it, in the grass. I put it back in the pot for the evil creature to see when it comes back for more.
The Tiger Lily plants in the shade garden have started blooming now. They are about 4' tall and so are a lot of the Purple Coneflowers.
The Jack be Little Pumpkin plants are doing well so far. I cut down some Peony plants and the Tree of Heaven while I was back there.
The Cucumber plants that I grew from seed are doing well so far. The 2 little plants I bought are in a different pot and not doing so well. I have already pulled out one of the plants and I'm not sure about the other one.
This is the other pot of plants that I started from seed. I watered them after I took this photo.
One little volunteer Sunflower is blooming.
Today is predicted to be a cooler day but the humidity is still fairly high. Out here in corn country, we have extra humidity produced by the cornfields.

That aww moment when we get a top finished & ready to turn into a cozy quilt, this one is going to be lovely
This is really a lovely flimsy finish, Wanda.
It used to drive me crazy when our wildlife visitors would take one little bite out of our tomatoes!! How wasteful and naughty!!
Much cooler this morning at 65 after an all night 2" rain and thunder storms event here...Hoping it washed the smoke from our air.
Hugs, Julierose
Your garden is thriving and it looks so pretty in the photos. Still hot and very humid here - another good indoor day.
Swirls and Curls ~ Fascinating to see the elegance of this one. Always fun to see how your gardens grow.
