August?....     Already?......

How does it happen.  Each year seems to race by faster than the last. Wasn't it just the other day we were all putting our little veggie plants in the ground and now, here we are with our gardens being overtaken by cucumber vines, tomatoes weighing heavily on the branches and neighbors doorbell ditching neighbors, leaving their excess zucchini and patty pan squash on porches and at back doors.

It's been a while since I've posted but I guess that's OK. Since this is a gardening blog, and it is the growing season, I should be up to my elbows in dirt and not sitting in front of the computer.

Throughout the summer, I have been receiving texts and photos from friends who are showing off their gardens and the produce that they have harvested. It's been such a joy for me to be a part of their enthusiasm.

I thought that I might share some photos of how our garden is doing.

I hope you enjoy.

Cucumbers are coming along nicely.

Lakota Winter Squash

I just love the colors of Rainbow Chard

We planted 100 onions last fall and they did great. We have been sauteing them up with the garlic we grew for many a dish. Yum

Some of the Indigo Apple tomatoes we are growing in the back yard.

We grew these beauties for sun-drying but they keep disappearing on our salads and in our veggie saute dishes.

I'm hoping to harvest enough of these to make some cider.
