EVERYTHING IS READY!!!! 10 Random Tidbits

1. The Rhubarb is taking over.


Come out and pick some!

2. The Salmon Berries are very plentiful.


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.


3. Lily's people came to visit her...


They really miss her.


4. I was very excited that this finally happened.....



Is it vanity?


5. This little girl's name is Lily...


Lily..... meet Lily!


6. These are Radish pods from the Rat-Tailed Radish plant.


They're juicy and spicy and delicious!


You need to come and pick some!

7. The Pea Pod crop is simply astounding this year.


Ada likes them.


You REALLY need to come and pick some!

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


I don't think she realizes how ironic it is.

9. There are so many Greens here at the u-pick garden that are begging to be picked.

Kale...



Spinach...


And Lettuce.


You REALLY, REALLY, need to come out and pick some!!!!!!!

10. Ducks are extremely naughty.


They are getting into trouble every day!
