Saturday on the Farm

August 14, 2011 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy 8 Comments

We’ve been getting a steady harvest of cucumbers, zucchini, and yellow squash. Lots and lots of cucumbers. We got large bowl full of green beans last week. and there are more ready to pick now. I plan on canning them this year instead of freezing.

 

Hannah picking cucumbers.

Lots of cucumbers!

We have a ton of raspberries coming! Look at them all!

Yum! Can’t wait for them to ripen!

My son got stung by a Saddleback Caterpillar. Those things can really sting! I thought others in the family were being overly dramatic after they were stung. Until I got stung and realized they weren’t, that it really hurts!

So if you see one of these Saddlebacks, don’t touch it!

 

I find this picture of the goat trying to eat an apple extremely funny. It was working hard to keep it from rolling out of its mouth. lol

I love this pretty read Zinnia growing in a pot in the front yard.

    Your cucumbers look huge! I’ve never seen a bug like that, and I hope I never do.

    Hi Linda, Looks like lots of great things to eat in your garden! I’ve never seen the saddleback caterpillar (and I don’t think I want to!) Enjoy your produce. I grated some zucchini for breads and cakes to come. I have a lot of tomatoes too, and a few green beans.
    Blessings, Beth

    Congrats on such a successful veggie garden! Yeow! I remember those Saddlebacks when we lived in Florida…they hurt like a you know what! Nasty things!
    Have a great weekend!

    One day my dream of having a vegetable plot materialises and I get to harvest cucumbers like yours. Good job.

    Fabulous harvest you have there. That little caterpillar certainly looks cute enough, but obviously he’s not as harmless as you would assume.

    So nice to meet you! Your produce is really abundant. I wish I could say the same, for some reason the vegetable patch is not all that happy with me this year. The caterpillar is amazing, I’ve never seen one like it and hope I never do, the sting sounds very painful! Hope you have a nice weekend!
