On Saturday we had a break from the endless rain and the sky was just cloudy. Perfect diffused light for taking a few pictures of the baby fruits and vegetables that are coming up....
Here we've got mostly squashes. The tomatoes in between weren't/aren't supposed to stay there, but at this point it looks like they might. I don't know where else we'd put them. Anyway, right in front is zucchini, the next squash is a pattypan, and the next is a dwarf butternut. All three were fabulous producers last year, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for this year. Beyond them, near the cherry tree, are the pumpkins - one is orange, one is that white, ghosty kind. We'll see how they do.
And here's the cherry tree. That's how it looked a few days ago when I took the picture. Now? Not so much red. Betweenthe birds and me, the cherries are mostly gone.
Those are Cascade Hops climbing up the string to the stick above the basketball net. We've got them growing in a half a whiskey barrel in front of the garage on the right hand side. On the left, same deal with Willamette Hops. My husband brews beer, and last year he started growing his own hops. They love to climb, and right now it's a race between Cascade and Willamette to see which one gets to the top of the stick first. Willamette started off strong, but Cascade is out in front now and will probably be the winner.
Sweet 100s.
Blueberries.
Brandywine. I think. I forgot to check when I took the picture.
And finally, teeny, tiny little baby pattypan squashes. Aren't they adorable? We're so proud.
