the weather this week has been wonderful for gardening-except today with the rain. the temperatures were perfect for doing the drudge work-weeding! sunday was perfect, not too hot and not too humid and very comfortable to work in. we were surprised by chris hackenbrack, she came out to work in the garden and from the looks of it, she pulled many, many weeds. so, many thanks to you chris! we appreciate the help and we enjoyed the company as well.
if you come out to the garden, you will be surprised by so many things. the flowers are beautiful, the vegetables and herbs are abundant and so are the bugs and weeds. we are amazed every time we work in the garden and lately, we are well fed too!
those #%*@ harlequin bugs!!! between them and the caterpillars, the cabbage doesn't stand a chance. we will be removing it!

the cherry pepper plant is covered with peppers; ripen, ripen, ripen...
we have picked many cukes and enjoyed lots of salad! darry makes a cucumber salad with rice wine vinegar, sugar, onions, peppers, chili flakes and herbs that is very tasty. between these and the ones in our garden, i am almost tired of them!
do you hear that? it is the perennial garden crying for help. "save me, save me" it cries as the weeds take over. 
i love the color of the rocky top coneflowers, the photo doesn't do it justice though

"help me, i've been spurged and i can't get up..." cried the perennial garden
beautiful grapes in the arbor. i picked a few and i am going to attempt to make a bread starter with them and all of the natural yeast on the skins, wish me luck!please come out and join us on sundays, if the starter works, there could be fresh baked bread to sample!
