| Brooks prunes. Some branches are loaded, others not so much. They sure are a treat. |
 |
| Two different types of Asian pears. The trees are overlapping, these fruit are not on the same tree. |
 |
| This type of Asian pear is huge and heavy. |
 |
| Our littlest cherub today was sleepy, her blanket and a wooden box worked well for a nap spot. |
 |
| My camera peeked in through the side slats of the box. Such a sweetie pie. |
 |
| This Asian pear helps show how small she is. Cozy, too. |
 |
| Grapes going into their bags. |
 |
| Grapes and splendid helpers. |
 |
| She woke up from her nap and man was it bright! Little guy gives the "thumbs up" that the cantaloupe is tasty. Riding in Grandpa's golf cart with Mom and Dad is a treat. |
 |
| One of the ways to eat a fresh cantaloupe. |
 |
| You still are pointing that camera at ME??? |
 |

 |

 |
| The volunteer sunflower is getting heavier and heavier. Zinnias in the background. |
 |
| Purple Cayenne pepper plants. The purple peppers look a bit like Medusa's hair. |
 |
| Bell peppers. If they go unpicked they will ripen to red. They can be eaten at any stage. |
 |
| The tall tomatoes in the raised beds. The orange ones are Sun Sugar and the purple ones are Indigo Rose, they are purple on the outside, red on the inside. |
 |
| Yukon Gold potatoes cut into home fries and BAKED. Delish! |
 |
| Tadaaa. The carrots are portioned for each of our harvest boxes. Grams shows off a curly carrot. |
