a few of my favourite things


gardening


Here is a picture of our first watermelon of the season. It is a tiny baby
watermelon, just the size of the top of Roxie's little thumb. It is stripey like a full size watermelon, but fuzzy like a cute baby. We think it is just awesome!!!







Our squash and pumpkins have leaves the size of platters or dinner plates and we have only just begun to harvest and we are eating squash at least every other evening for dinner.
It looks like we will take in quite a pumpkin harvest as well. We will cook the pumpkin and freeze it for use in baking and soups.











Our blueberries are almost ripe. This will be the first year that we will have any kind of blueberry harvest as it takes quite a few years for the bush to start producing. Last year we got about 20 blueberries, the year before that about 5.



I've got baby green tomatoes on many of my tomato plants.
