HARVEST DAYS

Today Merle made a visit to our garden plot and came back with 2 dozen "green" Walla Walla onions, at least 3 dozen carrots ranging in size from baby carrots to 5-inches long, and a small plastic bucket full of tomatoes, mostly cherry tomatoes. We already harvested a large bowl full of green beans. The wild rabbits ate our zucchini plants and beet tops. I guess we can share with our four-footed friends, but we draw the line at helping the winged and wormy kinds. We still have potatoes to harvest in a week or so. We are thankful for the occasional rain showers that supplemented our sporadic sprinklings.
