Just some photos of all the beauty surrounding me on this sunny summer day.

Overview – end of June
I took photos in the early morning, so the lighting is quite shadowy. But here is a tour of the main garden rows. We have had some good healthy rainstorms lately so the plants are starting to look lush.
Mid summer overview
Almost summer solstice and my garden is growing. Here’s what the rows look like with the exception of the tomato rows:
Heat loving plants
July harvest
We are harvesting:
- Garlic
- Fingerlings
- Fava beans
- Peas
- Blueberries
It all takes some work. The garlic needs to be cured, the fingerlings dug and soil sifted, the fava beans shelled, blanched, released from their waxy coat, and frozen. The peas shelled.
I pick over the blueberries to clean them a bit then freeze them in a single layer on a tray. When frozen, we transfer them to a freezer bag. We pick blueberries every morning. This morning, hit a record of forty ounces.
Making room in the garden for a fall planting, which should be done – now!
Mid July
The garden is full of delights. And as always, mysteries.
This morning, a heavy dew or maybe a descended fog spangled everything. It burned off as the sun got hot.
I took some photos. I tried to photograph dew but it never comes out as beautiful as it is,
