Garden update..

In a previous post (like 2 weeks ago) I posted a picture from my garden swing. This is the view now. It is really filling in. The huge things right in front of me around the edge are sunflowers. The beans are growing right up the trellises and we have been eating tons and tons of the lettuce - mostly with wilted lettuce salads. YUM. I have 2 basil plants and both are doing great. Today I am going to make some fresh pesto. We also have been getting use out of our mint plant making some yummy mojitos. Ahh... why can't summer last all year.

Fruit mania - yesterday we went to Olsen Farms to pick fruit and well we got a little carried away. We picked 27 pounds of fruit all together. A combination of mostly blueberries and cherries and a few raspberries. We gave some to family/friends and I have been freezing alot too. I pitted a huge batch of cherries last night to freeze and yesterday we had fresh blueberry muffins for breakfast which were a huge hit with the boys.
