1st Mess of Pole Beans of the Season!



Our veggies are coming in fast and furious now.

Here is a sample of our first pole beans haul. There are a SO many more out there to be picked too. I'm not sure what JoAnne has planned for them but I can't wait to start eating them.

The tomatoes are starting to ripen too and the potatoes will need to be dug in the not too distant future. We have three different varieties of peppers; green, red and yellow, which are not too far off either. Oh, least I forget to mention the end-of-summer boom of raspberries, which are plentiful. Sadly, this might be the last year for our peach tree, it's not doing to good. Actually, it's been in rough shape for several years now. There are plenty of peaches on there but they're on the smaller side and don't look to good in general. Time will tell and if they're not good for us to eat, the rabbits love em! One way of another they'll be put to good use

Sorry to hear your peach tree is on the way out. We have a giant, gorgeous oak that has been condemned by the arborist. It;s so sad when a tree has to go.

It's nice to see another Franklinite gardener online! You and my husband should get together and swap veggie-garden notes! :D
