harvest...

Harvest needs to happen before we leave for our vacation to Wisconsin.  It is a good motivator, but it is just crazy around here. 

Cutting back the scape of the garlic to make pesto and then dig up the garlic...

Scape and cucumbers.  Cucumbers are coming in loads.  Wouldn't you know it, they didn't do well the last few years and now we are leaving and I will miss making pickles out of them.  Oh well, hopefully more continue on when we return.

Scapes, walnuts, olive oil and Parmesan cheese...This stuff is great!

Lavender drying...Thankfully, I was able to sell some at market with my friend Geo who is a vendor there. 

Pre-harvest...FYI, it must be done so we will see a second bloom in towards the end of summer.

Broccoli...It really is the best.  If you have never had it straight from the garden you don't know what your are missing.  Chapin says he will never eat store broccoli again.  To bad it doesn't grow all season long for Chapin ate a whole head the other day!
