tonight i picked this cucumber...
a tray of tomatoes...
and four japanese eggplants.

i'm going to attempt to make dill pickles tonight.
the tomatoes & cukes...
i'm taking to class tomorrow.

the last couple of projects i did for class...
were photos of my garden...
and a classmate inquired about some of the bounty...
so...
i'm taking her some.

i'm going to pick some herbs in the morning...
basil, oregano, mint, and sage...
and take them too.

i've been fighting a cold or the flu or something all day.
nyquil and sleep were my constant companions...
with an occasional tweet thrown in here & there when i was semi-conscious.

i came downstairs about 9 to get something to eat...
and take my photo of the day.

this is a splash of vodka w/lime juice...
and i added a slice of lemon, some strawberries, pineapple and blueberries.

it can't make me feel any worse than i already do.

cheers!

today i used my 50...
for the first time in probably a year or so.

once i got my 35...
the 50 was sitting in the bag.

i forgot how beautiful it is.
even with all the spider webs on the coneflower.

i've got a few of these babies on the vine now.
but this one was first.

as you can see...
he's quite a ways from the raised bed.

i wonder how to tell when its ready.
will be researching that this weekend.
