Garden update

One thing I was really looking forward to leaving behind in Oklahoma was the wind. Oklahoma is windy. And much to my dismay, Vienna is also windy.

The wind has been taking its toll on my little garden. I've pretty much given up on my strawberry plant even though there are about dozen strawberries on it. But the sweet potato vines are looking positive. And yesterday the first two flowers on my pumpkin vine bloomed.

The flower's a little wind-blown, but it's there. Now when will the pumpkins show up?

Fortunately, we haven't had a lot of really hot days. This time last year we were experiencing an awful heatwave.
