Wish I had more energy but we have grands from in their 20's down to the youngest will be 3 this fall. Makes for fun times but this granny ain't getting any younger!!

Don't worry, your fig bush will be a tree in no time and you'll have lots of figs! My figs seem to grow larger each year! <br /><br />Yes, that's a yellow tomato that I didn't plant! The chickens blessed me with that and it taste better than any of them!

First a trickle, then the whole garden seems to ripen at once! <br /><br />Yes, we received some rain in the evening. We also got a nice shower last night, but it sure is steamy this morning!

So many kids (& adults!) today, have never seen a chicken up close, much less petted one. I'm drooling over your harvests. That's a gracious plenty of nectarines and how lucky you are to be given so many other wonderful produce to enjoy. Our figs... what few (2) there were, burned up in the heat last week. sigh But at least our little fig tree looks like it will make it. btw, is that a yellow tomato you enjoyed for your lunch? Looks delicious! Have a good day!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-35002570592955983562012-07-09T15:26:25.189-07:002012-07-09T15:26:25.189-07:00Our figs have been ripening also.

They need picking but when I pick them I feel I have to do something with them and right now I am covered up with tomatoes and beans. <br /><br />Did ya'll get any rain this past weekend? We did and it was wonderful!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933602709751520328noreply@blogger.com
