Peaches Peaches and more Peaches

We had such a great crop of peaches this year. We have 4 peach trees and they all produced so well this year. It was fun to eat fresh peaches for nearly 2 months straight. David bottles lots and we froze lots too. So fun to have fresh fruit in the back yard!

Blackberry Heaven

Here is our little friend we have tried to use to keep the birds out of our fruit trees. And actually he didn't really work. But fun to have him in the back yard. We wish he were a little meaner, cuz the birds really liked the fruit. And the frustrating thing is they don't even eat the whole piece of fruit they only peck one side of it and leave it to the birds, oh I mean leave it to the humans. :)
Abi found this leaf in the blackberries. We thought it was original, but we did find a couple other during the year. Kinda cool.
That is the fun thing about blackberries in our yard you and eat as you pick. Glad the kids like berries!
Some of the blackberries get so big.
We probably got 4-5 gallon bags of blackberries this year. We flash freeze them and store them in the freezer for yummy treats all year long.

Grape Juice Anyone?

The wasps are going to suck our grapes to raisins if we don't pick them ourselves.
David decided to pick them or at least most of them. There were lots that the wasps already sucked all the juice out of too. Still we got a few though.
They are pretty tasty grapes! At least the kids think so. We will make grape juice out of them. David thinks it is the best grape juice ever. Yes we do drink it before it sits too long. :)

Look what Spencer found

It is so fun to find things to that you can eat in the garden. Spencer thinks it is so fun when things are ready or almost ready to pick. We have a few strawberries and then some tomatoes are set on, now it is just waiting for them to turn red.
