Eatables


It has been challenging to keep things irrigated during this very dry season. Some things have not faired well. The grape arbor certainly seems happy, though! A riot of growth, with plenty of promising clusters. Ah, can't wait to sink my teeth into them after they've been sweetened by the first frost!
Thus far, I have enjoyed several delectable treats as job perks: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, figs, a bit of fennel and the occasional flower petal. Blackberries, blueberries and figs are still ripe now. Apples and grapes are at least a month away.
