1. The Rhubarb is taking over.


Come out and pick some!

They're so beautiful!! Unfortunately, the Salmonberry bushes are absolutely LOADED with aphids this year. I get absolutely covered with aphids when I pick them.


There was enough berries to make jam and sell it at the Farmer's Market.

8. I find it hilarious that Lily likes to hang out at the top of the garden, right beside the wooden fork and spoon.
