Oh, dear Ozark Summers, do I ever get a charge out of thinking of you blondies running around with blue streaks in your hair... Nice image, you.

the shortcake tradition lives on. Spud has developed a love for it also, with or without the berries. Its going in the oven today. The blueberries are ripe! Off we go to pick until our fingers and whatever are blue with juice. we are not content to just pick and nibble a few as we go. There has to be target practice with the fallen berries. After all, summer would not be complete unless you

Can you tell my black locust bloomed, and I've been out planting the heat-lovers: Tomato, eggplant, peppers, basil are all in!

Jackie, thanks for stopping by! Lettuce is so beautiful that it's amazing you can eat it too! I'd love to see your freckled lettuce. I'll be checking at your blog, fingers crossed.

Sportslover, I'm so sorry about your Tom Thumb.

I hope to grow mache over the winter. I'm going to have to find seed for it. I've never grown it before. Your speckled lettuce at the bottom is so beautiful and interesting.

I left you an award on my blog. If you are into such things pass it along.

we have enjoyed the lettuce varieties, radish and onions so far. Everything else is planted and growing strong. Once the spuds are dug the late corn and pumpkins will go in.. blueberries are turning dark blue and are plumping. the blackberries are plump and red on their way to becoming cobbler material...the strawberries are first year so we are watering and mulching and showing TLC so next year

We planted 8 kinds of lettuce this year. There not quite ready just yet, but in a few weeks I should be harvesting some. I don't have chickens but I'm lucky enough to work with someone who does and he supplies me with fresh eggs every week. Sometimes simple foods are the best.
