The Rabbit's carrots

To my regular readers, please forgive my erratic posting. I'm still trying to get caught up with posts from Nan and Pop's trip, while not falling too far behind on current goings-on. Keep scrolling down as I add entries, as I'm keeping things in chronological order. It seems like my best time to blog is late at night these days and I don't always have the energy...

On to Sunday. In the afternoon, Cora and Stace harvested our carrots! It was pretty exciting for us, and they mostly looked really good.

We have a lot of little green tomatoes coming along nicely, and quite a few zucchini flowers. The pumpkin is flowering nicely too. The onions and parsnips are growing well, though they won't be ready to harvest for a while still. Sadly, our strawberry plants are not looking good. Stace planed more a few weeks ago, and only three are still with us. We're not sure what is wrong, but Stace plans to put more plants in a bit further down.

The grape vine and lime tree are looking very healthy, but we're not sure if we'll get any fruit from them this year. Our nectarine tree out front is doing great, so we should have plenty there in a couple of months.

For our Sunday dinner, we had our own organic carrots, with grilled pork chops and potatoes Stace roasted on the grill in foil. It was all delicious!

As we were finishing up, Cora said, out of the blue (is there any other way for a 3-year-old to speak?): "When I grow up, I'm going to marry a squirrel."

She then laughed - she knew she was being funny.

After dinner we drove to CVS and Starbucks, and had a very lovely time together. Sing it with me now, "What a difference, a day makes...24 little hours..."
