Such fun having the Little Ones around, yes?<br /> We have a Vita-Mix, too, and just love it! Not a day goes by without our using it for smoothies, juicing, sauces, etc! powerful machine! Beet juice...very good! That zucchini bread looks yummy...recipe, perhaps?<br /> It has been so long since I've grown sunflowers...you make me want to plant several at our new location! They just seem so majestic and beautiful! Hope yours can make it til harvest! :)<br /> Kadota figs are my absolute favorite! That first one looked just perfect! I looked up the climate needed for them and found that not only do they need it more mild-winter than our new place, but lots of room for the invasive roots! :( Yours looks so yummy! As do those plums! I enjoy your blog so much! Thank you!

They sure look delicious in your photos and all those different vegetables are so good for us. I like your cute little grill! Our little tiny (new!) fig tree has a few figs on it already. It's hot and humid here hitting near 90's each day with storms building in the afternoons. Feels more like July (and August) most days.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-83917392873547807092012-05-26T19:49:43.588-07:002012-05-26T19:49:43.588-07:00Hi again!

You also don't have to remove the seeds, unless they are not healthy to consume. It juices the whole fruit or vegetable. There is no pulp as in a regular juicer. It also cooks soup and freezes ice cream! Right in the machine! It's expensive, but it does so many things that no other appliance can do. We gave it to each other on our 20 anniversary, so it's special.Felecia Cofieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454535396468307243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-71072270093182249082012-05-26T07:35:52.687-07:002012-05-26T07:35:52.687-07:00Thanks Anna, you too!Thanks Anna, you too!Felecia Cofieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454535396468307243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-60833917345112215892012-05-26T05:17:07.528-07:002012-05-26T05:17:07.528-07:00Hi Bama Girl -It has been unusually hot here too. ...Hi Bama Girl -It has been unusually hot here too.

I've never seen a fig tree - neat. Guess what, you know that Sweet Baby Ray's was made by a chef who has a restruant in Wausau, Wisconsin (like 11 miles from me). His name is Tony Raymond. He came to one of my flea markets, I didn't know who he was and he certainly didn't look like he was wealthy. I had an antique pedestal table for $100 he bartered with me down to $75 and then paid me with a $100 bill to make change. I said "I thought you didn't have $100 and he said not $100 for this table..." later I found out it was Sweet Baby Rays guy. Just a funny story. Have a great weekend.
