I thought I had only taken a few photos in the last week but I just downloaded and there were quite a bit! I thought I’d share some of my favorites. First, some rudbeckia:

Gratuitous photo of Fritz. He helps me weed:
travels with toby 
Fritz wins, petals down ;-)
even with his eyes closed? :)
Absolutely!
But I do like your flowers, and I want that veg!
thanks :)
I’ve been bringing cukes to work. There’s no way we’re going to eat them all!
You’ll be real popular! …though not as popular as if you’d been bringing donuts ;-)
:)
Gorgeous pics, Toby. Fritz looks very relaxed there. :)
he’s so funny how he follow me around the yard while I weed, or, in this case, taking photos. thanks for stopping by. happy weekend!!
Excellent pictures, Toby. Thanks for the tour. As much as I love the flowers, Fritz wins the prize. He must have worked hard because I think he’s snoozing. :-D
he always looks down or away when I want to snap a photo, darn him! Once in a while he cooperates though ;)
Perhaps he is camera shy. :-) <3
:)
Loved seeing your fruit and flowers, Toby. The veg look delicious :)
thanks!! just finished snacking on yet another cuke from the vine. with hummus, yum :)
How envious! Beautiful photos of your garden, Tobyo :)
thanks Amy!!
Toby, you always find the most vivid colors. Like the cat at the end. BTG
thanks BTG!
Very pretty! Such a nice selection of flowers. I just put in some snapdragons, which I love. Still harvesting rhubarb and sungold cherry tomatoes, cukes, and am watching my few precious stalks of corn!
I wonder if it’s sungold cherry tomatoes that I have. They’re orange and are delicious! How fun to grow corn. I don’t have room for that. Thanks for stopping by!
The Sungold are the sweetest! And when we pick them sun-warmed right off the bush, it’s like eating candy.
I picked and ate some of my orange tomatoes tonight. oh yum!! I don’t have the recipes on my machine so will scan and send soon!
No hurry whatsoever!
good deal.
Great photos To
thanks!
