Sunny 4th of July

Hello!
The weather has been wonderful to us recently. Our garden is growing rapidly. The pea pods, summer squash, broccoli, beets, ancho peppers, onions, swiss chard, rhubarb and herbs are just turning ripe.

However, the garden is still behind. We have TX family visit us each year before the 4th of July. While they are here, we usually enjoy an abundance of pea pods, beets, summer squash, currants, gooseberries, strawberries, and raspberries and can see cucumbers that are about to ripen any day. We did eat a few peas off the vine, but that was it for this year. But, they are coming along and will be here this week...and we know this is just the beginning of a glorious harvest season! Everything is growing really nicely now.

This last week, we planted late-season broccoli and cabbage under a bright blue sky.

Mom will post a recipe later.

That's all for now folks,
the RoseBros
