Let's see what's growing today

We're taking a break from making jam, so we can go scope out the orchard and garden.
Some of the carrots were ready today. I'm totally underwhelmed.Harvesting our "afterthought" lettuce
I guess we're getting a decent return, considering our efforts. I just want to plant a LOT more next year.
We have just enough grapes for a few fun pictures.
Apparently the chickens weren't getting enough foam insulation in their diet. I'm quite ready to have them fenced in and reclaim my shade garden.

Thistle bee - say it out loud. It's fun.

    So you aren't going to pack up and move to Bemidji post haste? ;-) Who could leave that bountiful land you've got there. :-D
