This summer has been busy with mostly Home Improvement Projects and some fun Road Trips however that did not seem to phase our crops in any way, shape or form.
Even though they did not get quite as much attention as they usually do in the summer they hung in there. We had a couple blueberry bushes that did not do quite as well as last year however the others were loaded and there were plenty to freeze, plus some.
The Everbearing strawberries were a fun change this summer. They are still producing big, sweet berries, which is fun.
Lots of Peppers too. Hot peppers, sweet peppers, bell peppers...you name it, we probably have it.
The tomatoes are on! We will have plenty again this year for making homemade tomato sauce.
Our pumpkins did not do quite as well as this year due to a sweet little boy, who pulled most of them out earlier this summer. He did not know we happened to be watching as he tossed them in the street. Luckily he missed a few and those are doing great.
Apples and zucchini are doing well.
Below is the apple tree that fell over last year. The hubs staked it back up in hopes that it would survive, and sure enough, it not only survived but also produced some beautiful apples.
Amazing!
The Granny Smith apple tree is loaded, as usual, so we are looking forward to making more Apple Cider this fall.
As always, we have a bumper crop of Pears.
They are beginning to get heavy and starting to fall. It won't be long before we will need to start canning and drying them all.
There you have it! The latest and greatest from our
Little Backyard Farm.
Have a Super Saturday!
