There are still some strawberries coming on, but not as many, and a lot of them are small berries. After getting several freezer bags of them put up for later, I’ve shared with relatives. Grandson Arick always sees that we get plenty of morel mushrooms, so I’ve given him some. I told my oldest granddaughter if she’d come and pick, she could have them. She ended up with a lot of them. I’ve given some to our daughter, too. I imagine by the weekend they’ll be done. Now I’m looking forward to some fresh tomatoes in another month or so. Most of the plants have fruits on them.
I’m pretty sure I could find enough new potatoes in the garden to make creamed peas and potatoes, but the peas aren’t ready yet. I have a few green bean plants that are above ground, but it will be awhile. I just hope all the tomato plants stay healthy! So far, so good. Tomatoes are the reason I garden at all, and they haven’t always prospered in my garden.
Take a look at my cat, Blue: He is totally under the influence of catnip. I had to put a protective shield around the herb because otherwise he lays down and rolls on it all day, so much that he had almost killed it.

I'm a bit jealous. We just set out our tomatoes last week so we have a long way to go before we even have fruit. I got them planted way late in the greenhouse this year. But I bet we have some new potatoes too though I haven't dug any at this point.
ReplyDeleteI recognize all the brands of tractors though I'm not familiar with many of the models. Our farm was strictly John Deere since our nearest dealers were John Deere and all the models were much bigger than what Cliff fixes up. We did have an old 5/20 John Deere that I loved to drive but it was sold at the equipment sale after mom died and dad retired from farming.
I don't grow my own tomato plants; I got my plants when we went to the Amish place in Jamesport. They were fairly large when I got them, but they didn't do much of anything until after all the cold, hail, and winds that damaged them.
DeleteThe video of Blue is great!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of tractors! My oldest grandson would love to hang out with them. (although he's a bit more into trains and construction equipment these days) I will get a few strawberries in a month or so. I also used to grow tomatoes but got blight one year, which discouraged me.
ReplyDeleteMy dad started collecting tractors around 2000 and after he passed away in 2009, my brother and nephew just kept collecting. I asked them how many they had and the answer was "3 more than will fit in the quonset hut" .. I don't think they really know.
ReplyDeleteCliff couldhave had his own tractor show with all those. Galla Creek
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of tractors.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot! For some reason I kept hearing "And a partridge in a pear tree" as I was reading that list of tractors that Cliff has owned!!
ReplyDeleteThe list of Cliff's tractors had my mind singing, " and a partridge in a pear tree" when I got through it! hehehe😁
