For lunch today… venison stew… harvested last November and pressure canned. A big beef tomato… and a few strawberries harvested yesterday evening.
And hoe’d a double row of green beans on my lunch hour… WAY to hot for that.
Going to wait till sundown to do more.

I’ve been eating peaches for days. 1 peach tree already yields too much for 3 people to eat once they start to ripen when there’s a decent crop.

Nice peach… looks so good.
It would be nice if they ripened slowly over a month or two… and nothing would bother them… until you pick and eat.
Mine ripen over about two weeks… little more… and everything is out to get them.
I have some apple peach blackberry jam that I put up late june… going to get one of those out for this weekend.
Have a hankering for some peach now.

I live in the suburbs and dealt with the squirrels for the most part this year. The birds are something harder to deter. We don’t have much other wildlife around here. I think mine will ripen over 2 weeks. Having a multigrafted tree with varieties that ripen at different times seems like the smarter thing to do right about now.
Tree ripe Frost peaches about 10days late , but huge fruit compared to the last 5 years.
Delicious with Cheerios on my back porch in Seattle .
No fertilizer or pesticide used anywhere in my yard

What did I eat today that I grew? Mostly fruit. Red Baron peach, Santa Rosa plum (weeping variety), Artic Jay nectarine, Babycakes blackberry, Gravenstein apples (from the Frankentree). There are actually 5 different types of apples on the Frankentree, but the Gravensteins are the only ones completely ripe.
I have been slacking on the vegetable gardening lately. Too many other things to do.

Most of the pears still hanging that was just dropped and I picked up. It was good but while others are still very hard. Since pears are not going to ripe at tree I am starting to pick few every week and put them in brown lunch bag to further ripe.
We are eating a lot of eggplant right now. (And so are all my friends!) And I am painting eggplants. They are really fun to paint because it’s a challenge to find ‘the colors’ that are in all that ‘aubergine’.
Made a ‘Caprese Salad’ tonight with our tomatoes. The rest is store bought . . . Roasted Red Peppers, Capers, Mozzarella, olive oil, salt & pepper, and GARLIC! Fabulous.
