Green Acres

We're full into harvest time here at the farm. Every day we haul bushels of produce from the gardens into the house. There, we either freeze, can, eat or give away what we've grown. It is a busy time, but fun and exciting, too. There's a lot of hard work involved but it's all very satisfying.

Here are some photos of some of what we're picking.

Some things, like this gourd, are easy to identify.

Tomatillos.

From the watermelon patch.

These are soooo sweet!

We've been eating a lot of blueberries...

blueberry pie...blueberry crumble...

blueberry muffins...

trust me, a lot of blue food is being served

at Casa Leone!

I love the way onions look fresh from the soil.

Hot, hot, hot!

Other things are not as easily identified...

Any ideas?

He: "What's that?"

She: "Um...melon? Squash?"

He: "There are a lot of them. A lot."

She: "Lots of melons? Loads of squash?"

Ah, now that's something I can identify!

All sorts of eggplants beginning to come out

of the gardens.

My favorite veggie, btw.

Yours?

Growing corn.

Does it get any more majestic?

Melons. We've eaten a bunch of these already and

they are sweet enough they could almost pass for candy.

Really!

From our home to yours, wishing you a wonderful weekend.
