Look who I found in my garden this morning!
Two Baby Doves. I was walking along the top of our bank and almost stepped on them. I slowly backed away and went for my camera. All the pictures I took look the same because they never moved! They match the pine needles; there are some dead branches are the ground near them that they may hide in when need be.
I harvested some Patty Pan Squash today, second time in less than a week. This plant is next to the bird bath and receives extra water from the overflow from our feathered friends bathing.
Tiles are 4 inches across. Perfect size squash!
Picked some more onions; I am not going to dry these, but will keep them in the refrigerator.
Also in this picture is about a dozen Banana Legs Tomatoes I picked; these are a yellow paste tomato. I picked these green because the bugs are moving in!
This one is called "Debarao" an heirloom Red plum tomato, the plant is loaded with fruit.
Above is Dr. Lyle an heirloom Pink Beefsteak.
This is Estiva a hybrid from France. The plant has already given me red tomatoes. It is an early variety that I will repeat next year.
Purple Calabash an Heirloom Tomato
Thai Basil Plant, I love the purple flowers added to the top of my salads, they look so pretty. If you add these flowers to white wine or white balsamic vinegar, it will turn it a pretty lavender color.
Sages I planted in the Spring look wonderful. I will dry some to use for Thanksgiving Day.
