| A fellow Master Gardener came out to see The Farm and helped pick. Thanks Brandi! |
 |
| Helpers come in all different heights! |
 |
| The boys take time out to "drive" and push a little. |
 |
| "Boy, I have been working hard." |
 |
| Looking out over the corn. Beans and tomatoes to the right. Blueberries to the left. |
 |
| Corn silks are a little bit purple right now. They will dry up as ears mature. |
 |
| At one point in The Farm's history, Dad had gladiolas planted here. |
 |
| From the corn looking back at the buildings. |
 |
| Bird netting catches Jamie, too. She and Mary picked blueberries today. |
 |
| Pickers need hydration. |
 |
| Angie picking beans. Until they made her itch and break out. That's one way to get out of picking them. :) |
 |
| Good times with Auntie Renee. |
 |
| Rosy cheeks = happy campers. A warm day for the helpers. |
 |
| Many things are "picked" on The Farm. |
 |
| Green beans with more blooms for more beans. |
 |
| Purple beans. Too bad they turn green when they cook. |
 |
| Crab apples. Dad made the best crab apple jelly. We use it as a glaze when baking chicken. |
 |
| Purple turnips. So crunchy. |
 |
| Carrots. A few yellow ones are hiding down low. The one with three "fingers" must have run into something hard to cause it to divide. |
 |
| White Patty Pan galore. |
 |
| Cippolini onions. |
 |
| Anna's lunch is yummy today. Especially when you use the garden cart as your table. Just the right height. |
 |
| Beautiful peppers. Sorted, counted, weighed, photographed and then put into boxes. |
 |
| What a variety. Smells good in the potting shed. |
 |
| Such a vibrant color spectrum. |
 |
| Bell peppers ready to be bagged. |
 |
| Purple and green beans. Some of the green beans are wider than others. They are different varieties. |
 |
| Jamie organizes carrots. How would that look on a resume? "Am able to organize carrots." |
 |
| Angie taste tests them, too. |
 |
| And taste test them. |
 |
| Our pretty "watermelon" variety of radishes... the critters liked them so much they never made it into any boxes. Worms, bummer. |
 |
| Swiss chard in the raised beds. |
 |
| A frog visits the flowers by the potting shed doors. |
 |
| Late evening sun on the pumpkins and sunflowers. |
 |
| There will be a few fall raspberries. |
 |
| Green pumpkins with drip irrigation. |
 |
| Happy sunflower faces. |
 |
| A few flat "Cinderella coach type" pumpkins are growing well. |
