Well what can I say about Sunday...I woke up and it was raining and it rained and rained and rained. How hard did it rain? Well lets see...hard, harder and then OMG! It was a wet day. We got over 3 inches total rain in just over 12 hours or so.









We didn't make it out to check the garden and berries at all on Sunday because of all the rain so after work today we walked to the garden and berry patch. In the garden we picked about 10 peas, 3 cherry tomatoes and a nice striped zucchini. I picked a few blueberries and then we moved to the raspberries. We picked nearly 2 QUARTS!











the garden is doing well. I didn't find any more bottom rot on the larger tomatoes. I have started to put egg shells in the tires with the plants. I guess we will have to start eating a lot more eggs! I am not a big egg eater but I think a 12 egg batch of egg salad is due!

Here are a few pics of what a day of rain can do for a garden.

This cuke is 2X as large as it was the other day"



Lots and Lots of sunflowers! I love sunflowers!













Here is a picture of our lovely little harvest today. All the raspberries are getting frozen. We eat so many as we pick that we need to freeze these to save for the future. They are so good on yogurt and granola.



I hope everyone had a great weekend and that this week brings them many surprises in their gardens.

WOW!! It looks like EJ isn't the only one with jumbo raspberry harvests!
All the sunflowers and veg look go good. The still-life at the end is really pretty.
