John's hard work. Finally I got out in the garden and shot some photos for you.
King and Spitzenburg.
Those are the 2 kinds of apples we have on the place.
John's grandpa was an orchard man.
John inherited that gene.
But he grows veggies as well. Like artichokes.
Beans. Lots of beans.
Blackberries.
Lots and lots of blackberries.
Blueberries. I've been picking and freezing and giving away.
Bosc. Pears. I'll show you the seckels soon. They are soooo cute.
Corn. This short bed is for the 2nd coming.
The tall bed will be eaten soon. Hand shucked and all that jazz.
A sweet corner of the patio where I sip my mint julep.
Cucumber.
Different kind of cucumber grown on a trellis for easy picking.
Dahlia.
Alphabetical order. See what I did?
Matelija poppy. Not alphabetical.
These are the plump green figs that are ripe now.
John has an eye for a little color among the edibles.
And he planted tons of glads this year.
We have many grape varieties.
He can't resist trying new ones.
Yum.
This long row of grapes was here when we moved in. Very old vines.
The color of kale is exquisite, dont you agree?
As is lace hydrangea.
Lacinato kale.
Perfect little lettuces.
Tomatoes, tomatoes!
Marigolds.
Onions.
Peppers.
Gorgeous black variety.
Pink Daylilies.
Plums.
Poppies.
Salvia.
Seckel pears. They are the dainty, sweet ones.
Seedheads. Which the birds love.
Sunflowers
Tomatoes. Ripe and juicy.
Walking onions. Walking over to the fairy roses.
Walnuts. Many walnuts.
Thanks for stopping by and admiring summer's bounty and John's hard work.
