Growing, with a few weeds

In addition to Gunnar, the gardens have been growing (with weeds) very well this year. I definitely have to give tons of credit to Nick and his green thumbs!

Here is our tomato harvest thus far.  My fingers are so crossed for some red tomatoes this year!  I call this Gunnar''s buffet.  He has eaten every one so far.
The plant stand in all its glory.  Some very yummy basil and gorgeous Columbines.
Figs on the fig tree:
More tomatoes:
Nick's pride and joy, the Brussels sprouts:
We are also working on some larger planting and Nick adopted three apple trees for the front yard.  They are hanging in there and we hope they all make it to next spring.
My Hydrangea in the front has bloomed beautifully:
Berry row!  Gunnar's early pillage patch of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries:
Kale!  My favorite leafy green:
Peppers and beans:
The grapes have finally made it a whole season and not been moved.  They are growing very nicely this year!
The cherry harvest was one fruit this year and it was wonderful.  Or so G tells us!  These are going to be going into training in the fall.
Squash making their appearance:
Blueberries:
SUNflowers:
Our old man adopted grape that came with the house and is flourishing despite its lack of attention:
I'll keep you all posted on those red tomatoes.  Send us your ripen vibes!
