Here are some pictures of our summer gardens. We are just starting to harvest many of the tomatoes, peppers and squash.

 |
| Our 3 Layens horizontal hives down in the little orchard are finally full of honey bees. Sarah did a wonderful job painting them. |
 |
| Elephant Garlic, oh my! |
 |
| Unripened figs in the orchard. |
 |
| We planted red, white and yellow onions. |
 |
| Turmeric |
 |
| Cucumbers are planted under a cattle panel trellis. |
 |
| Pepper…we have mostly bell peppers, but Sarah planted some other varieties too. |
 |
| The birds get some of the blueberries, but we planted enough so that we get most of them. |
 |
| Blueberries! In a couple years we will be overflowing with them. |
 |
| Sarah plants sunflowers in a garden bed visible from the kitchen window. |
 |
| We canned 27 quarts of Irish potatoes so far. We didn’t think we’d like them canned, but we both love the flavor after canning…weird. |

| Toothache plant. You chew the yellow flower and your mouth goes numb. |
