the fruits and veggies of our labors

We've been lucky this year to have a good garden. Drake and Graham love picking whatever is ripe---and Drake is quick to make sure you know whether something is ripe or not!


Drake loves to pick tomatoes.




Graham loves to be like Drake.




Graham loves to eat tomatoes like he eats apples. Unfortunately, he had a sore on his lip, and it wasn't until he'd almost finished a whole tomato when the acid finally hit the sore.




Drake eating a peach from our peach tree.




Shad holding Avery in front of our corn---8 feet tall maybe? And this shot was taken a month ago. The pretty plants in front are our green beans.




Drake ate two whole ears of corn the other night. Graham finished one.




Shad made a little garden spot for Drake, who has been collecting seeds to plant since the beginning of the year (from apples, watermelon, etc. that he ate). It was a little late for anything to really grow by the time we planted Drake's seeds, but Drake just thought it was fun to plant something.

Summer is ending all too soon.
