First Produce



The garden is growing.  The rains have made it difficult for the cucumbers to get very far, but we've picked our first zucchini, 1 1/2 gallons of green beans, and a bell pepper.  We've had a great crop of lettuce too! The summer squash is growing and grape tomatoes are turning red; we'll have several ready to pick by next week.  More than ever, I enjoy raising our own vegetables.  Hopefully, next year we'll also have enough blueberries to provide for ourselves.  Yesterday, I was working a little in the garden when a family of foxes strolled by me.  Later, one of them was eating berries in the front yard.
