Whoa! You know that little blogroll on the page you sign into on Blogger? It has a rolling listing of updated blogs. I just got an eyeful of nudity when I chose a harmless sounding blog to click on. Blah! I thought admin didn't allow stuff like that? Or am I being naive? This is the way I found Iamnot and Lorraine. It seemed so harmless.
Anyway...
Things are dry here. Time to water. Veggies are doing great. I harvested some whopper carrots that look like they are on steroids. I do believe they will be cooked rather than eaten fresh. I should have picked them 2 weeks ago. Tomatoes and green beans are coming off. Squash has that damn worm that burrows into the stem and kills the thing. I even sprayed for those and it still got my mound of zucchinis..sniff. I saw one cucumber ready to pick yesterday.
Sweet corn and cantaloupe is in the fridge from my parent's area. Yum.
I must have had some hidden caffeine sometimes last night because I couldn't go to sleep and then I wake up at 4:55 this morning. What the heck?! I guess it will aid in getting to the blueberry patch early. Last call for blueberries this weekend here.

my tomatoes are the size of puny cherries and something keeps eating the tops off the plants, so I'm still buying from the farmer's market. Blah!
sounds delicious!
Nudity? Where?
I have those squash borers, too. I have not been able to do anything about them for three seasons. I did get one zucchini and 3 small butternut squash.
i love fresh veggies and fruits.
i hit up the farmers market here on the way home today-way cheaper and way better.
i wish we had blueberries here though. yum!
I remember going to my grandfathers cabin in Northwestern Arkansas and picking blueberries while we were there. Everyone got chiggers except me. It's been a long time since I had a blueberry outside of a muffin or an ice cream shake. But they're so hard to suck up the straw.
Sounds like some good eating o me.
Hi,
You woke up early because you're a gardener and you have a secret sense when the garden needs you. It's like a super power, and that means you can only use it for good - like to pick fresh veggies.
Your harvest sounds like you're keeping busy despite the early hours and the dry weather.
Do you have any tips for a novice winemaker (just got a kit, haven't tried anything yet) about making blueberry wine? This next week is the last week to get some fresh in our part of Illinois.
