Harvest!

July has been pretty light on blog posts. Too much weeding and watering and, to be honest, doing nothing all day at the pool with R, to be on the computer much.

We have lots of little green tomatoes. I hope that this year is better than last and they ripen before the first frost. Colorado has a frustratingly short growing season. But we've had a heat spell this week, and everything is taking off. Here's what I harvested today:

Ready for making pickles! Cucumbers, purple peppers, red pepper, eggplant, squash.

Coosa squash, Fairytale eggplant, Ronde de Nice squash, bush pickle, and purple pepper.

Sunny yellow summer squash.



And blue borage flowers. They taste like cucumbers and are lovely in a salad or an iced drink.
