Let The Harvest Begin
We go to our garden every day and at the first sign the harvest is about to begin, the excitement starts. This year we had a very mild winter and were able to plant earlier than usual so we have a very early harvest.
We had a great crop of onion's and they are harvested and in the cold bins in the barn. We usually have enough onions to take us through the winter. Our outdoor kitchen is an ideal place to clean the Garden Vegetables and get them ready to store or preserve in some way, or maybe just ready for tonight's meal.
We have tomatoes blooming, some green and some are ripe and ready to eat. The Kitchen window is full of tomatoes. We take them off the vine just before they turn bright red so the birds and the squirrels don't have a feast with our beautiful tomatoes.
The Herb Garden has been so much fun this year, some of the herbs are really mature now and the blooms are just fantastic.
Our Blackberries are just beginning to harvest, they have been a little slow to ripen this year, but we have had enough so far for one fabulous Blackberry Cobbler.
Our Summer Squash is loaded with blooms and we are beginning to harvest some of the squash. It taste so good.
The Green Bean Patch is beautiful, the beans are just beginning to string and bloom, we will have Green Beans soon.
We have some beautiful blooms around The Garden right now. Our Butterfly Tree is amazing this year and the Butterflies are having a convention here. They are just beautiful!
A new addition last year, a gift from our son and his wife this beautiful miniature Yellow Rose and a gift from our daughters this year this beautiful Hydrangea.
In another couple of weeks our canning season will be well under way and we will be having the most wonderful fresh food right out of our garden.
I sure hope that you enjoyed the Garden Tour today, it is always fun to have you come to the garden with me. Your visits are very special and hope that you will come back real soon!
Peace and Joy

Miz Helen, I'm so jealous! Your garden is wonderful, and makes mine look so sad by comparison. I have a lot to learn, but I'm not giving up. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness your growing season is a long way ahead of ours! We are just starting to see the first lettuces, spinach, baby potatoes and spring peas here. Raspberries are weeks away, as are summer squash and it's usually late July or August before we see ripe tomatoes. Nice to see the photos. They have me looking forward to the coming of summer. :)
