My one little blueberry bush was gracious with fruit this year: about two quarts total. Not bad for being totally neglected except to put bird netting over it on the years that it chooses to produce. Thank you!
And the Kentucky Wonder pole beans I planted in the garden at MorningStar went crazy just as the peas did. The vines topped the trellises leaving beans growing higher than I could reach them! Also they produced many more beans much faster than Julie and I could eat them or want to eat them. And I just didn't have the oomph to make dilly beans or the like. But I enjoyed them steamed night after night with butter, salt, and pepper. Yum! Thank you!
And then there's the LeRoy Farmers' Market. This haul was from one Saturday: tomatoes, peppers, and squash, lettuce and cider, prune plums, pears, and cucumbers, and even salsa! I love eating all the colors!
Thank you to all who grow and sell these wonderful foods at our market and all who support the market with their purchases and friendly visits. Thank you to the rain and sun, soil and microbes...
Thank you, Mother Nature, Mother Earth!
