I’m taking some time off during the next few weeks and am finally getting to spend some time out in the garden. So far the pruning shears have had quite the work out. The lemon tree looks like it had a nice flat top hair cut (sorry to the pro’s – I’m sure my pruning job would generate more than a few grimaces). A few planting beds are getting reworked for fresh plantings of beans, lettuce and beets.
On the harvesting front, so far we’ve had a few meals of pole beans, salads with cucumbers and the first of the glorious home grown tomatoes, and the one of many zucchini’s to come.
