Thanks! I’ll show Mrs. d
We ā€˜over-bought’ blueberry bushes, there’s 14.
Half of them were over 40 yrs old when we planted them 35 yrs ago, from a blueberry farm that was sold. We could only fit 2 at a time in a full-size pickup with the tailgate open…
So… we have a lot of blueberries.
We do jam, pies, cobblers, ice cream topping, pancakes, in salads, so many things…

blueberry/banana/strawberry smoothies!
I love a good smoothie. No sugar required.

She also does a blueberry/vodka drink that’s kinda fancy.

Due to coyotes and bobcats, we have had to keep our chickens in their coops/runs. As a result, we have unexpected food crops growing outside of the run (they couldn’t get to the young plants and destroy them). We have unexpected grape tomatoes and tomatillos (see pics) and a jalapeno plant. Yay? This is what happens when your son gives the birds leftover salad…

That is very cool. I have cherry tomatoes and squash growing out of my compost pile :slight_smile: nature is a wonder!

To BOTH of y’all - you’re talkin’ to me! Actually, talkin’ about me!

Last year, I dug out my old containers (big ol’ square oversized flower pots, really) and planted two different types of tomatoes, two seeds in each pot. They grew & produced considerably more than I expected them to. Lots more work than I expected for 4 lousy pots! :woman_facepalming:
This year, I opted not to plant anything. Older and more debilitated, I knew I couldn’t do the work. :pensive:
HELLO!! Two tomato plants decided to grow in one pot! One got killed by the heat last week, the other is now 6 feet tall and I’ve picked 9 tomatoes off it, with another 6 on the plant I’m watching grow.
I did nothing to deserve these tomatoes, (besides water them) but I’m grateful for them. Yes, nature IS a wonder! :astonished:

I have harvested the onions. These are doing their final dry-out after being topped. Sweet Walla-Walla, you make me so happy!

And might I add that the tomatoes are being eaten as fast as they are picked! August is my canning season and the fear is real that it will not be.
