I ate a few handfuls of chokecherries today.  These were some of the largest and sweetest I have ever eaten.  Mmmmm, delicious!

Only thing I'm picking is my nose. Blight has set in on our tomatoes and the whole crop is shot I fear. We will have peppers and okra though.

I had a handful of mulberries earlier. They are really good this year.

It has been really wet here this month. Tomatoes are on strike, except for the grape tomatoes. Serranos are giving me about 15 a week. The corn is ready to go. Zucchini is hard to time due to the wet weather, along with the crook neck. I still have a few beets to pick. Onions are done. The cucumbers are few and far between, and a bit tart. Apples are getting close. Sad thing is, I feel like I need a larger garden.  >:D

Corn. Plums, tomatoes, peppers, cukes, blueberries. Have a raised garden so the excess rain doesn't bother the plants, one of my best years.

:thumbsup: for us . . . minus the plums & blueberries.  Wife has eye on blueberry bushes @ local nurseries.  Tomatoes are huge and plentiful!

There are two seeds that will go all the way through a sewer plant and not break down.
Tomato and Mary-Jane Weed.  The guys at the sewer plant have to spray the sludge drying pits to kill it off.
