What a glorious day it is today! The garden is really coming along and as the season progresses I will be weighing all of the produce I pick to see just how much I grow.

So far I have picked 73.5 lbs of fruits and veggies including, sour cherries, zucchini, yellow squash, black raspberries, onions, and apricots. Not bad! My goal is 1000 lbs so I have a bit to go but all the heavy produce is yet to be harvested like potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins. etc

Here are some pic around the garden from this week:

How are your gardens growing? Were you like us here in WNY where for a month it didn’t rain but now we have too much rain?

Next update July 26th – See you then! -MM

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings. View more posts

You are so much further along than we are! Some really beautiful produce there, especially the apricots! We got an apricot to grow from a seed, and it winter killed, I was so bummed.
