Summer Garden Goodness!
After harvesting pounds of organically-grown Natchez and Apache blackberries in June, we’re now transitioning into the July blueberry season, so that means hours of picking from our 40 bushes. We can’t wait to share them with you next summer through a variety of recipes we’ve been collecting, from blueberry bars and muffins to pancakes, syrup and jam.
We’ve had great success this summer growing White Cherry Organic Tomatoes from seeds purchased from Johnny’s Selected Seeds, which are as sweet as candy! We’re also enjoying our harvest from Johnny’s Alexandria (F1) seeds, a Mid-East Hybrid Specialty Zucchini Squash that’s absolutely scrumptious, and their Dunja (F1) Organic Hybrid Zucchini. We made loaves of zucchini bread for our son Michael’s road trip, who recently visited from Berkeley, California. Eating from the garden during these hot summer months is such a special treat!

How wonderful! Hope you didn't get too many scratches from the thorny blackberry bushes! Well worth it, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy! Thankfully, the blackberries are the thornless variety. We can't wait for all the Caveys to come and visit after we're open. Perhaps a reprieve from a Winnipeg winter?
