After all the boxes have been picked up for the day Lisa delicately fiddles with a huge bouquet of zinnias that will be going home with our great nephew's family (he's in the background). |
Muffy picking cherry tomatoes like a trooper. They are time consuming to pick. Thanks Muffy! |
Our 1950s cherry boxes are waiting to be filled for this Tuesday. |

The morning glories bloom like crazy each morning, then close up each evening. They try to face the sun. |
Angie seems to enjoy picking the jalapenos! |
Corn on the left, the feathery tall green is Sweet Annie, the colorful flowers in the front are strawflowers. |
A very tall wall of sunflowers. |
Leeks grow and look like sharp edged onions. |
Angie and I are digging these leeks. They have very strong, tough roots. They don't want to come up. Lots of work! |
Trimming and then washing. The pink handled trimmers and the green handled, very sharp knife, are good tools for this job. |
Melon salad, part of our wonderfully fresh lunch. |
The grapes have been put in their bags. These are the ones that are left behind. I'm a bit behind with my photo ops today. |
Different colors of kale. |
Striped Red Stuffer. A hollow tomato to stuff with your favorite filling. Mmm, maybe tuna salad?
|
A wide variety of tomatoes. These are all ripe; red, pink, yellow and green (which is also ripe). |
This zucchini looks like a yellow crayon with a green outside that has been partially sharpened. Pretty spiffy. |
