We had much better weather this week. Not as hot and no where near as humid. So we were able to get out and work in the garden some. And boy does it need it!
We’ve been enjoying eating sugar snap peas. The plants are about gone now. It will be time soon to plant another crop of them. I need to plant more this time, so some will actually make it into the freezer. We all love them, and can often be found standing in the garden eating them right off the vine.
We also enjoyed our first red, ripe tomato this week. I see a few others out there that are almost ready. I’ll try and remember to take a picture before we eat them this time. lol
The blackberries are getting ripe. If the kids pick enough, I’ll make cobbler and jelly. As well as freeze some for cobbler and pie in the winter.
I put the flower pictures in another post. It works better to split the pictures up, instead of one super long post.
To participate, just write a post about your homestead, farm, farmette, or the tomato plant on your deck. Your cows, goats, chicken, or your favorite kitty cat.

Looking good. You are way ahead of me as my peas are just beginning to flower. I do wish I had some blackberries. I have not done good with raspberries or blackberries. I'm wondering if it is because I have not used a root stimulator. And I think I need to prep a bed instead of being lazy and planting them in the grass. :/.

That sign is hilarious. I guess that if you drop anything and don't notice, you might find it missing. Other than that, a little headbutt against the thigh maybe? (More for attention than anything else.)

We're just getting blackberries now, too…just enough to eat. 😉 Thanks for linking to the TGP.
