Yes, it's that time of the year: time for the yearly garden blog post. I'm pretty pleased with the garden this year and it appears to be a fruit year as well. Hopefully we will diligently care for the garden throughout the summer so we will have a great harvest - looking forward to doing some canning this August . . .
We did get a couple loads of nice mink manure (well, it was a little fresher than it should be, but still . . .) and that helped a ton. Jared was also able to take some time and some funds and redo the watering system this year and it seems to be a little more efficient than before. All in all, as I said, I am pleased. And it's been so hot and dry that the weeds aren't even getting as crazy as usual. :)

| Lots of potatoes this year along with peppers and zucchini in the foreground and melons, squash, pumpkins and cucumbers in the far left |
 |
| Onions, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, beans and peas |
 |
| Tomato plants |
 |
| The fruit salad tree actually has plums this year and one nectarine along with the peaches. So excited! |
 |
| "Millions of peaches, peaches for free. Millions of peaches, peaches for me" |
 |
| Golden delicious apples abound |
 |
| We even have a lot of Macintosh this year! |
 |
| The pear tree has always been a great producer |
 |
| Even our new d'anjou pear tree has a pear on it. |
 |
| Can't wait for these honey-crisp apples |
 |
| CORN! |
 |
| And, so far so good, our pumpkins look healthy and strong. Crossing fingers they stay that way! Hoping that the chickens like squash bugs if those insects show up. |
