The corn is as high as an elephant's eye!

Or at least it seems like it to me!

The tomatoes are looking great and we have a few ripe cherry tomatoes!  The only problem is the boys removing several green roma tomatoes before they could turn red.  We are working on that.  If only the garden wasn't such a little boy magnet. All that dirt and mud (we have a leak in the irrigation system. who knew the thick concrete could have a hole?).  And of course the golden raspberries lure them in for a snack every day.

We have been enjoying zuchini, yellow summer squash and crookneck squash. Picked young while it is still tender. 

The garden is doing very well.

We have 6 chickens a day laying for us.  I'm hoping the other 16 will kick it into gear soon.  And I also wish they would lay in the nest and not in all corners of the coop.  But we will continue to work on that.  We need some fake eggs....

The cows are doing well. Eating their heads off.

The new grape vines look good.  Of course we will not have fruit this year, but they are looking alive and healthy.

The new apple trees look good as well. The older one (by one year) might have fruit last year.  Oh the joys of honeycrisp apple trees. 

We are going to have a small crop of peaches and nectarines.  Yay!

The apricots at Mom and Dad's will be ripe next week and Dad is going to make apricot jam!  Sounds delish.  We have also been enjoying the occasional invite to pick the strawberries over there.  The boys love that!
