That sure was nice of them to take care of everything for you! I won't let anybody get near mine. Ha! The bugs would take over, for sure....
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky you have someone to watch your garden. I could set my sprinklers to water automatically, but I haven't yet found an automatic garden produce picker! Your produce is looking wonderful, and that scale is "gaining weight" quickly! I wish my cucumbers & tomatoes would get in gear.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're back :-)
EG,
ReplyDeleteYes it was. They are very good to me. They even called me to tell me how much they picked :-)
Thanks Granny.
ReplyDeleteIf I lived closer I would harvest for you.
I can't believe I have already pick 35 pounds out of the garden.
35 pounds, 50 pounds. I don't know how many pounds EG has harvested, but you folks are going to make me hide my produce counter.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Liisa, you were right on the money with the raspberries. You said they'd be ready to pick in two weeks, and I picked the first one just a couple days short of a week.
Oops. A couple days short of two weeks.
ReplyDeletehope you enjoyed your vacay. what a nice son and son's girlfriend you have to do that for you!
ReplyDeletegreat pics...the orzo salad looks delish. i've been salivating over everyone's harvest. i can't wait to grow zucchini and potatoes next year. i'm about to relocate south so i can grow all year long! :P
Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteBefore long your harvest will be right up there with the rest of us. My raspberries are done for the spring. I think I will get another harvest this Fall.
Kelli,
Thank you we did enjoy the time away.
The salad was very good.
Growing all year round would be great... I'm hoping to do the same... this year will be the test.
