Our First Harvest Of The Year

Yesterday Lisa and I went down to the orchard for our first harvest of this year.  George spent a lot of time before planting adding horse manure to the beds and if our first harvest is any indication it was a good move.  We picked Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Peas, Green Peppers and Cherry Tomatoes.  We checked the Blueberries but they are just not ready just yet.  We have pumpkins, acorn squash, beets, potatoes, lettuce, carrots and most importantly corn that is really starting to grow.  If everything continues to grow, we need rain, we are going to be busy harvesting and canning, pickling, etc.  The fruit trees are still looking good and so are the grapes.  It even looks like we could possibly get some almonds this year.  If we do it will be the first time.  As for the veggies we picked yesterday we are going to be enjoying them when we grill tonight and tomorrow.
