Well, no red tomatoes yet, but I think we're getting close! We may at least have a few smaller cherries ripe in the next week or two...
I can't complain too much about this summer-after all,I am always complaining that we go from a cold spring to hot summer weather without those in-between days of 70's and sun. Well, we got it this year-all summer. It's just not quite warm enough to actually ripen those tomatoes....or my eggplant for that matter.
Remember last year?
They were bigger than Alice!
We do have some fabulous potatoes though! I have been harvesting our Russian fingerlings....I have some random heirloom's planted around the yard that I may let sit until frost for a little winter potato treat....although none of them are good storage variety
Rebecca loves those Chioggia Beets!
There have been an incredible amount of dragonflies this year, it's almost a little weird. I am used to seeing a lot of them-on the river-but not in my yard. They hatch in water and stick pretty close to a source....but I don't know of anything like that around my house. AND, it seems like everyone has had a similar experience with them this year. I certainly can't complain, they are really fun to watch, and not nearly as scary as I thought they were as a kid. BK the Cat caught one and brought it to us, I tried to be encouraging, but i wish she would stick to mice.
Of course, my garden tours would be no fun without these fuzzy monsters.

My oh my what a beautiful life you live... Beautiful gal, beautiful cats and a BEAUTIFUL garden! It was great to see you today. I am very impressed with your blog, it's only a shame more people don't know about it. But I'll keep it quiet:) Those beets are gorgeous, I want to grow some! There have been so many things I missed over the last year... guess that means I need more frequent garden tours!!! Well just wanted say hi and admire your lovely virtual garden journal! Love You.
