| Starting Sunday morning: picking snap peas and harvesting dill. |
It's not even mid-July and Farmer Willie has bumper crops coming in. This weekend we harvested so much yummy produce: snap peas, dill, potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, and even corn!
 |
| This wasn't all of it. We got about 3 lbs of carrots and more than 5 lbs of beets. |
 |
| Corn fed white girl...shucking corn. I attempted some of Grandmother Love's creamed corn... |
 |
| A bushel of walla walla sweets. Papa Chuck would love a mayo/onion sandwich with one of these beauts! |
 |
| Like digging for buried treasure...Connor was having a blast! |
 |
| Eno is thirsty...loves that running water! Easily 5 gallons of red potatoes. |
The farmer headed to our local fruit stand to barter with all his beautiful dill. From the prices we saw ($9 for a small bunch of flowering dill), we figure he gave them more than $100 of dill. He cashes in with 2-3 cantaloupes...so they make out well.
 |
| Taking time to stop and smell the roses (and talk to them too!)...That is the Martha Jr. coming out in me. :) |
this whole sun-shiney, summery, lovely post made me smile. Marie, you are always a stunner but you look particularly smokin' pickin' your veggies and shucking corn. Maybe I just miss you extra bad.
