~Harvesting Vegetables From Our Garden~

We have been planting lots of vegetables this last spring to eat this summer. I wanted to share with you photos of our harvest!

In this raised bed we have kale, beets and bunching onions!

Artichokes did well because of all the rain

 we had this year in San Diego!

Our Potager Garden

We have lots of apples this year!

Our Golden Dorsett Apple espalier bearing fruit!

I had to make some pretty apple tarts!

Our first harvest from our zucchini!

Neighbors are loving the fresh produce!

We're growing different varieties of tomatoes in pots.

Had to try this Tomato Lemon Tart recipe from Bon Appetit.

Hope you're all enjoying your gardens this summer!

~Summer In Our Garden~

~New Dahlia and Sweet & Simple Fridays #73~

Our dahlias were starting to bloom this week.

 I had to share with you some photos I took.

I hated to pick the beautiful blooms, 

but I wanted to enjoy them in the house!

Sweet signs of summer in the house.

Stan picked our Anna Apples today.

So I had to make an Apple and Pear Crisp.

Ina Garten's recipe is the best!

Saving sunflowers seeds for next year.

Our first watermelon.

Remember when I shared the 

hydrangea wreath last week with you.

Well, it's starting to turn purple. 

Still looks pretty good, wouldn't you say!

Hope you were able to play in your gardens this week.

Looking forward to being inspired by all of you!

Happy Thursday everyone!
