 Garden update for July 27.  Onions are ready for harvest.
 Bought a new 80 gallon Lifetime composter.  My old one rusted out and collapsed off the stand.  The good news is that all of the compost in the old one was great for preparing the soil in the new flower garden addition pictured below
Connected the flower garden to the retaining wall to make mowing easier.  I plan to line the outside with the same hosta along the wall and fill in the rest of it with some other things which we haven't decided on yet.

 6 peppers, 4 bell, 1 jalapeno, 1 habanero
 3 tomatoes and 1 grape tomato plant.  I've only had 3 grape tomatoes thus far
 strawberry bed with onions in back

 Sod removal to join flower garden and retaining wall.  Will be filling in this area with hosta, lillies and mulch to make mowing easier
