Colder Temperature ?

This summer has been in the nineties since the 1st of June which is warm for NW Colorado.  As I have mentioned my garden has not been very productive.  The cool weather plants like lettuce, spinach,peas just sprout and either they were eaten or the heat burnt the seedlings. 

                      

One of the tomato plants have tiny green tomatoes

Zucchini is growing well

In the box garden I planted purple pepper and banana pepper, you can see a banana pepper growing on the plant in the middle.

I planted these pots the first of June and see now in August the watermelon plant has started putting out vines.  I think it is to late to expects a watermelon from these plants but I'll continue watering and shading them to see what transpires.

Peas

Green beans

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you enjoyed my update of the garden. I'm looking forward to putting some of these vegetables on my supper menu.

Have a great week.

Hello August and Baking Day!

Baking Day!

Today I have decided to use up the last of the shredded zucchini and pumpkin I froze last autumn.

I have some help to day.  This batch is pumpkins muffin from the Jack-o-lantern pumpkins I froze last fall.

 These muffins are made from the zucchini we grew in the garden last summer.

Here we're making some bite size zucchini  muffins for on the go.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed seeing what we were baking today.

Have a wonderful week.

My Out Door Happy Place

Hi Friends,

It's another glorious day here at My Little Colorado Cottage. 

This is the cottage gate to my happy place, my garden. 

  

Today I just had to show off a few blooms in garden, these blooms make me happy!

This wired milk crate is one of my yard sale finds this summer and I thought it would be a great planter for annuals.

My yard is always a working in progress.  Some of the perennials I planted last summer are coming up nicely this year.

I'm going for a kind of rustic,  kind of cottage, and kind of rural feel to my outdoor living space 

What do think?  Thank you for checking out my outdoor happy place.

May God bless you and your family.

Have a wonderful day! I'm Vicki the Colo-Junkett
