Spring Oaks Garden in July

I've been absent for a week and came home to a beautiful garden.  I have a multitude of purple cherokee heirloom and generic red tomatoes, giant zucchini, budding peppers, growing cucumbers and broccoli.  I also planted a bunch of wildflowers at one of the borderlines of the garden to attract pollinating insects, and that has turned out to have been a lovely idea.  Enjoy the photos.
