Fruits of our Labor

I finally got Joey and Sammy to help me out in the yard today.

During our weeding session we had the pleasure of finding

enough blueberries to fill a bowl....

Joey's handmade pottery makes a nice vessel for

our blueberries

We also found our first tomatoes of the season. We love

the sweet 100's, they get fruit early, ripen quickly and

taste delicious. We planted cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes,

heirloom tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes... we are going to

have plenty of tomatoes!

Although I have yet to see a pumpkin blossom on our

hillside plants (I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that

we have pumpkins by Halloween), we do have some

nice blossoms on our zucchini plants

and the Apple Trees look good....

This is about the last of the peas. I am surprised they have

lasted this long in this heat. We tried to keep them in the

shade and watered, but they just do not like summer.

but the sweat pea flowers apparently do like summer...

And so do the figs.

It's so much fun to find treats in the garden.

And it also makes a nice distraction from weeding.
