Some shots over the last few weeks from our mid-summer harvest. Not pictured: a HUGE amount of plums this year which I'll document if I ever get around to making jam with them. Plums, grapes, garlic, kale, lettuce, shallots, peas all doing great this year...tomatoes, cukes, peppers and zucchini you have some catching up to do.

 |
| This is our sick plant recovery center located by the puppy door. Currently in rehab are that sad little sun damaged blueberry bush and an evergreen that didn't like it's spot. We have one more sick bed currently available. |
 |
| Zinnia goodness on the back patio and a gorgeous pot, courtesy of my mother in law, Anne. I love it! |
 |
| Dahlias are standing tall this year...the rebar stakes worked! (so far) |
 |
| little green tomatoes on most plants but only the little sungolds are ripe yet...let's get this party started, kids. |
 |
| The beginnings of the greenbeans. Never have grown these before, but so far so good, they seem to like this trellis. |
 |
| Since this picture was taken the fennel has not only crested the room but then started curling in on itself. It's about 5 feet taller now. #monsterfennel |
 |
| Baby apples on the espalier tree, finally! |
 |
| Shallots, onions and garlic curing in the sun. The patio smelled like an Italian restaurant for weeks and there's more on the way...these are just the ones that volunteers, the elephant garlic is still in the ground. |
 |
| I never pick my artichokes...they are too pretty when they flower. |
 |
| grapes are on the way! |
 |
| Echinacea, yarrow and moss in the front yard. |
 |
| My wish for Love in the Mist has finally come true, they finally sprouted from seeds planted in early spring! I love this flower because it's gorgeous when it blooms but also when it dies. Oh how poetic and twee, yay. |
