Bloom Day (late!)


The butterflies are blooming!




First hibiscus flower and more on the way if the deer don't find them first.





See other blooms at May Dreams Gardens.

First Tomato




The first tomato of the 2010 season is an Amish Paste tomato. Unfortunately it got its genomes crossed and instead of growing long and cylindrical it tried to become a sphere like other varieties.

Harvest Monday


First handful of blueberries ever from these bushes. They seem very late producing. We ate them with cantaloupe. Also have been getting cucumbers and basil.


Cucumbers, basil, onions from my garden, tomato from the farm stand with a dash of olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.


My beets are striped in the inside. Here they are cut open in preparation for juicing.


Beet, peach, and apple juice. Yum!

Check out other harvests.
