August update!

Well…. I picked my first PEACH from my tree!  Been eating a few blueberries and raspberries but no blackberries so far.   There are only a few strawberries but at least the plants now have a home and I look forward to more. There are bunches and bunches of grapes.   Have picked 5 or 6 eggplant and a few more cucumbers.  A billion tomatoes will ripen real soon... probably during this next heat spell.  I've had a few peppers and 2 carrots are growing (the tomatoes pushed them out..  have to find another place for them). The squash, melons and watermelons have suffered because I'm a procrastinator but there is still hope. Most of the apples are rotting on the tree (gotta figure that out) but the pear tree is amazing  I'm looking forward to rhubarb next year and will figure out a way to get to the cherries before the birds do!  Pretty darn cool, huh?

Blackberries

Another plant I thought was a goner this year but it too has come back! 

Blackberries will go here… eventually…

Still green!

…well sort of… Nov. 24th .  … the forsythia I transplanted in the front and my blackberry bush! oh yes and there’s the cauliflower that I never got cauliflower from…  hhmmm….  or maybe it’s not… 

 

blackberries and forsythia…

Nov. 11th..  maybe it will be a short winter…
  

The blackberry bush…

…what happened to it?!?!  OK..  so it’s not the best planting job but I just had hip surgery… and Brita just had back surgery!  I think something ate it!
