July garden...

 this is the first year for these grapes  to be bearing fruit... It was feb 2011 when i planted the cutting taken from my dad's NSAFarm & Botanical gardens. Thats 4 years to come in to full production.

 we've been having summer rain storms... feels so tropical...

I swear it's Hawaii on those days

Greetings & Summer Soltice blessings!

 ...here are a few of the things 

 going on in the garden just now.....

                                                  

 
the Epaphilum were spectacular this year! Put on quite a show!

 these are the whitest white blooms ... 

 been picking the logan berrys every day for a week now...

only about 15% still out there... a great harvest!

these are grapes developing on the wood i planted from Dad's NSA Farm in march of 2011...

i was hoping it was a white concord but it is a lovely red table grape... i;'ll take it!
