Country Garden Update



First full sunflower of this summer.




Today I harvested the spinach plants and
lay them out to dry the seeds for next year.




Spots on my apples :)






New pinecones




Pumpkin blossoms


and pumpkins...




Beans are ready, tomatoes are flowering
and the carrots are a good size.




The garlic is ready to harvest, we
won't get to it though for a few days!




Raw zucchini slices are a favourite snack.



Sugar snap peas



Beets



I planted more spinach seeds.



It's all worth the effort-
dinner!

Toad on My Deck

This is a frequent occurance and I always wonder at it:
why do toads hop up onto a hot dry deck?
