For so many people and things....family, friends, good health, jobs, free time, motorcycles, riding motorcycles....the list does go on. Modern communication makes it wonderfully easy and convenient to keep in touch...Hungary, the Caribbean, Arizona, Minneapolis, our immediate family current locations. We've been blessed, lucky and are thankfully, happy. We truly hope that you can say the same.
The garden has been a lot of work, rewarding work and late-season gratifying for all that it has given back. Here's a look at our season and hopefully we'll continue to learn to do an even better job.
April 28th...
June 13th......
My first salad...
Black Caps from our brushy areas...
Chequamegon National Forest berries, two colors, not ours.
Refrigerator AND canned pickles....
Fermenting cabbage in the crock...
Chickens getting their dustbath in an empty bed....entertainment that just doesn't quit.
More decorative pumpkins than we wanted, not as many squash.
Monster carrots....they make a wonderful soup!!
An artichoke past its prime...
Lots of help digging potatoes....
Our last tomatoes, greenhouse-grown.
Next time eye'm in the hood.. eye'll steal the radishes ... a sprinkle of salt... ( please leave salt shaker outside ) :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a small shelf with a small shaker, next to the garage ;)

DeleteSuch a beautiful garden! The eating photos show respect and pleasure. Glad to see rhubard. 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks much! The growing and the eating are an experience that provide a special and unique satisfaction. Our rhubarb was shared with many, those plants have a lot to be proud of.
DeleteVery nice. Some how I had a bad tomato year. Eat your veggies
ReplyDeleteThanks Rod. Like you, our tomatoes were less than stellar but our peppers and green beans made up for it. Very wise counsel on healthy eating.
