The season's first.....

This is the first of my totally home-grown organic apple pies. They are amazing this year. The apples are huge, bug free and delicious!

Had a great do with the pie crust too! Discovered that one needs more water in the recipe at 7,000+ feet.

Thanks to the recent inch of rain and cooler nights the Swiss chard and kale are doing splendidly. The tomatoes are starting to turn red and the gourds are a huge success! I do love to have wonderful things growing in the garden. The rose are going berserk, pictures coming tomorrow.

It's that time of year again!

Totally organic and wonderful! Time to get the pie plates out and begin the season! This year we had the late frost and the top of the tree was blitzed by ice. The lower part we'd  been able to cover and these are the result. I also eliminated a great many of the apples at a very small stage according to best practices of the apple growing community! The result is larger, sweeter apples.

This was also the year we pruned, pruned and pruned some more. No sprays at all!
