Some snapshots from our yard and garden....

It all begins here; we don on our hats, bug spray and gloves

Front yard view from the end of our driveway

Choke cherries, ripe and ready to be picked

From the front orchard looking back toward the house

Some photos of the hail damage











Herbs
Parcel and Common Sage

Lemon Basil (background) and sweet peppers

Bee Balm

Seed collection
Remember in previous photos what is missing? We've collected the parsnip seed( approx 5lbs) 
and removed the plants, feed the leftovers to our poultry, they loved it!

Radish going to seed, waiting for pods to dry for collection

Asparagus berries( seed)

The Hoop house crops
The tomatoes have gone wild!

Sweet Peppers

Green Zebra Tomato

Watermelon Beefsteak

Some items harvested today, garlic, dried and ready for storage, zucchini( some damaged from the hail), yellow sweet peppers and a green pepper, plus  some Sour Cherry Jam made from straggler cherries, ready to eat!

This is at the end of our driveway, an eclectic assortment of flowers; hollyhock, iris, day lilies, a yellow daisy and I'm not sure what the pink flower is, our neighbor( across the road, in the picture, shared some roots last Spring),wormwood, mallow and sunflowers.

Hope you enjoyed the tour  :o)

Thank you for your compliments, we are truly blessed to be here. The hail damage did more cosmetic damage than anything, PTL!

You have a very blessed weekend,
