As you can see below, the cucumbers in the forefront are nearly as tall as the corn, and the corn is nearly as tall as the dill behind it. (The dill is about 5 feet tall.)
And here you can see that I am growing peppers!
Also, we now have tobacco in our front yard, because how can you be a barefoot Kentuckian without tobacco in your front yard?
Seriously, though, we planted 4 heirloom tobacco plants in the front berms. Now those that know me know that I never, ever smoke anything. However, Nathaniel thinks it would be fun to roll a cigar for his dad, and I am a sucker for heirloom plants nobody else is growing, so we ended up with some from the farmer's market. Actually, my sister-in-law bought two of them when she was visiting, but she forgot them, and they wouldn't survive without being planted until the next time we will likely see her in October. And Nathaniel picked out the other two. This one pictured is supposed to get only about 3 feet tall, and it will have yellow flowers. The picture of it was quite pretty, so it got to go in the front yard. Another one gets white flowers that open in the evening. So I hope they will look nice as well as be an interesting addition.
