The Problem with Low Hanging Fruit

Low Hanging Fruit

Caught in the Act!

In the ’90’s, when I was in IT, the buzz around our shop was ‘go for the low-hanging fruit’.  The resident box turtle at our community gardens brings that phrase back to real life.  We found evidence mid-week that he/she is still in the area – and well able to determine exactly when a tomato is ripe!  Yesterday I caught it in the act – but by the time I got back with my camera, she’d done an ostrich in the straw.  You can just see her tail peeking out below the mangled tom.

What makes the garden grow

Magic sight!

Beginnings

The avalanche is beginning!  Cabbages are almost done and the tomato and pepper plants are loaded!  We had a few ripe toms before 4th of July, thanks to garden guy insisting we plant before the last danger of frost.  Now everytime we visit there’s something to pick! Yum Yum Yum!!

Pickin’s Getting Thin

New Clothes

Two New Skirts!

We made a trip to the garden yesterday where everything was heavy with dew. Rain over the last week or so has resulted in a spurt of growth, and more peppers. Tomatoes are about done, as are the zinnias. My favorite gardener kindly took a photo of me in my new duds with zinnias, but the battery on the camera was going and the photo was garbled, giving the dreaded ‘picture error’. Oh well. So instead you get separate pix of the produce and wardrobe updates!

I’m off the the South of the James Market tomorrow, with new hat and matching green skirt!
