Another APPLE day...

I don't know about you, but, I love being able to pick my own vegetables and fruit. Better even when it comes from my own garden, no travel needed. Today I made the first of several New Mexico apple pies. NM being that they were grown here, not that it is a special brand. These are from my four apple grafted tree. They are really flavorful and pretty much bug free. It is a bit of a challenge to peel and cut them if they have a few beasties inside.

Tomorrow I PLANT vegetable seeds! Let's see what comes up. I'll let you know!

P.S. You do know that if you double click on any of my photos they will open in a much larger size in another window. Have fun!

Autumn is in the air

The New England Asters are in full bloom everywhere. I feel like little Ms. Asterseed when they set seed as I harvest the seeds and spread them around the yard.  This year with all the rain we had in July they have fulfilled their promise of lavender beauty.

It was a real struggle to have a vegetable garden this year due to the preponderance of mice. They hate arugula so we have a bumper crop of it that we can hardly keep up with. It is delicious tho. I'm going to plant a late summer garden of kale and Swiss chard. Wish me luck.

The apple tree came thru with wonderful apples and the tomatoes were grown in mouse-proof pots!
All totally organic, not a spray touched their skins. Today is apple sauce and tomato sauce making day!
