Fresh organic blue-berries ready to pick!
Ripening Green "Early Girl" Tomatoes in the Raised beds.
"Alaska Mix" Nasturtium in bloom. I've been enjoying a few on my salad every night.
We have been really lucky have a very sunny, hot and stormy July so far. This is perfect for heat loving plants like, fruit (raspberries, blue-berries, blackberries) and the end of my ever-bearing strawberries. Tomatoes and eggplants also benefit from the insatiable heat. Other plants like, lettuce, spinach, radish and chard tend to become tough and bitter, and start to form seed heads. Bronwyn and I have been spending 1-2hrs around dinner time, weeding, thinning, pick and snacking down in the garden. Everything is super healthy this year. Soon we will have a great harvest of carrots, beets, beans, kohlrabi, joy-choi, hot peppers and celery! Like always, the herbs are growing strong and we have had no shortage of seasoning for meats, salads and potatoes. Keep in touch, stay up-dated!
What's with Aidan lifting people? Now that he has grown into his man strength he can't help but use it. We really love using the pool on hot days and when friends are over. This year in April we started using the pool, cool, but just as fun. We are looking forward to some great pool parties and the construction of a Tarzan rope. We are also looking to light up the pool in a creative way at night. Bronwyn has come a long way in her swimming lessons, next year she will be able to do the number levels and progress even more. Come join us for a swim!
