We must start, of course, with Chris's hop plant. This is the first year that we have gotten the hop flowers on it. If it starts to produce very well, we will actually be able to brew using our own hops. That would be pretty awesome.
I am very excited at the prospect of having lots of squash this fall and winter. If I can just keep the deer out of it, that is.
This is one of the last garlic heads still standing. We have garlic everywhere on our property.
This is the first year that we have grown a tomatilo; it seems to love all the sun and is producing flowers like mad! Now, we are waiting for the onslaught of tomatilos.
More squash! And...my sweet meat pumpkin! Nothing is quite as good as a pumpkin pie made from your own pumpkin! Yummy. I think my tummy is grumbling for it already!
Jes is very helpful in the garden...or she is there with her hands always touching everything.
Out in the back yard, I have a spot that I will be adding sand and loam to so that I can move the raspberries there. I need a rototiller to borrow so that I can get it all mixed in.
You have to love produce that requires you to do nothing but pick it! The creek keeps the berries watered and so all I have to do is trim the wild vines and pick berries. Oh boy and they are so good!
The calamitous grows on the front of the house house. This is the first year I have given it something to grow up. It seems to like it given the sheer amount of blooms on it this year.
This is the strangest hydrangea that I have ever seen but it is still very pretty.
This pretty pink flower is actually in the neighbor's yard, not mine.
Tomatoes! Tomatoes! Tomatoes!
The strawberry plants in my "patch" are producing nothing but more plants and some leaves; the plants that I put in the big flower pot are producing like mad. I hate it when my husband is right. Argh!
Have a blessed day!
