I'm throwing this pic into the mix simply because it's so funny!! I predict bread in this zucchini's future!!
The flower garden is such a joy! We added a couple of rocks, bird bath, and a hummingbird feeder, but no additional plants yet. I have some ideas for a couple of newbies, but don't worry I'm sticking to the blueprint!!
The grapes were quite successful, minus the japanese beetles! We were infested! Hopefully the milky spore will do its job and end the beetle madness! In my opinion, the white seedless were better tasting than the red. The skin wasn't as thick...maybe this was our fault as "farmers;" we are on a learning curve, you know!
The sunflowers are hanging their heads and our next chore is going to be saving the seeds and roasting them for trail mix snacks! I think we have 30 or so!! And some of them are super beasts!
The gooseberries were plentiful! We really didn't know much about them until we began researching harvest time, etc. We used some of the raspberries next to the sidewalk, the gooseberries, some cherries, and some fresh picked blueberries from Dan and Kelly (two doors down) and made two delicious cobblers. They were a bit tart, but yummo!
Three pears were on the pear tree...one fell off...we haven't eaten it yet, because it is hard as a rock!!
