I spent a bit of yesterday morning in the garden... watering, weeding, and harvesting. I spied a potato peeking out of the ground. In order to keep it from turning green... I dug it up. Also... our first teeny tiny Sunsweet cherry tomato was ready.
Everything is coming in all at once!
Green beans...
Kohlrabi...
Squash - I'm harvesting pattypan, zucchini, and yellow squash daily. I try to pick them while they are small... otherwise there is just too much to eat. The ones I miss, that grow too large, become treats for the chickens.
They love squash!
There are also many baby butternut squash that will be ready later in the summer.
Lots and lots of cucumbers are hanging and growing.
Peppers are hanging on the plants, but still need weeks to ripen.
I planted this box half full of kale (back half), and half full of beets (front half). As you can see, I have successfully grown a beet. One beet. Thankfully, beets are not our favorite - although I love them pickled.
As I was watering, I happened to see this fellow hiding in one of my tiny fairy gardens.
My favorite roses are blooming. This tiny bush is tucked between a couple of other bushes in our front garden. I am afraid to transplant it... afraid it might die. So, I look for it each year and just enjoy the blossoms... even though they are not a focal point in the garden.
I baked stuffed pretzel rolls yesterday... 28 of them... all stuffed with ham and cheese and mustard. They make an easy lunch and are a family favorite.
Yesterday I noticed that our barn swallows are just about ready to fledge. All of a sudden, the nest is quite overflowing...
I just have to share this video of our 18 month-old granddaughter, Wren. I am sure this will bring a smile to your face. It sure did ours!

Pretzel rolls look delicious. How do you store them?

Snuggled toad was fun, (or is it called frog?)
I guess I will have to look that up.
I think your ‘busy” has arrived!
Loved Wren and the shopping list!
