We've had a beautiful week here in Loganville. As we see the weather in other parts of the country destroying homes and entire communities, we have been counting our blessings and are thankful for the beauty we are able to enjoy here.
This time of year is exciting because we start to see the payoffs of our hard work. Green tomatoes and blueberries begin to turn red and blue. Flowers start to bloom. Beans and squash produce so prolifically and quickly that we have to harvest them almost everyday. Cucumbers change from tiny gherkins to perfect slicers in a matter of a couple of days. Plants look different every day and it is fun to walk to fields in the morning and see the changes. Enjoy some of the pictures of this week!
Nothing says it's summer like sunflowers.
Look at that sky!
Harvested the first cucumber.
Sungolds, Sungolds, Sungolds!
Loads of green tomatoes on our heirloom tomatoes.
Okra getting bigger everyday.
Finally! Two of our blueberry bushes are beginning to ripen. The other 100+ should be close behind.
One of my favorite herbs: lemon basil. Water (a pitcher full) +1/2 peeled cucumber+three sprigs lemon basil=a delicious, refreshing summertime drink
Happy lettuces
Tomatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, lettuces, and so on...
Teeny tiny epazote sprouts-
that turn into this- so amazing!
One ripe Sungold tomato-can't wait to be able to harvest handfulls at a time.
Tons of green Sungolds and new blossoms.
