Gardnin

Gavin, our master gardener, always likes to take me out and show me what's growing on the plants. Today we saw several eggplant, a few hot peppers, one tiny orange bell forming, and tons of "tomato tomato tomato!!"s



If at one point I was concerned that planting all heirloom tomatoes might bring me a smaller yield, I have put that fear to rest. Check out that ONE branch on ONE plant! I may get curious and go count how many fruit are on each plant, to see what I might need to expect as far as days of canning this August!!

We did some peach mashing to help make black raspberry-peach jam today. We only got 2 jars out of all that work, but hopefully they will be delicious in the middle of winter....
