"Since that year, our garden has continued to grow as our gardening knowledge has," Milam told Patch in an email. "We have yellow and green zucchini, tomatoes, pole beans, jalapeño peppers, and various pollinating flowers and herbs, plus Milkweed for monarch butterfly growth."

Thanks for sharing, Vicky and Guy!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun of Northern California and that boast your unique talents. Cell phone images are fine.
