The picture below is the garden, looking southwest. The sweet corn is evident, and the pole beans. In front of the beans are a mixture of bush beans and potatoes. And in front of that, partially obscured by the shade of the peach tree is winter squash.
Below is a glimpse of the abundant broccoli and cauliflower of this year, winter shelling beans in the foreground.
More broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage as well as lots of radicchio and kohlrabi. The red is orach, a really tasty salad ingredient now going seed (it self-seeds beautifully.)
A shot of the elderberry bushes which are just loaded with black fruit.
The Italian plum is loaded this year.
And so is the Granny Smith apple tree.
Lots of grapes this year. These are Thomson seedless.
I learned this year that Thomson seedless turn a purplish color when fully loaded with sugar. Mmmmm....
The "vineyard" at a distance - with my helpers, Daisy and Zeke.

The recovering Asian pear which went into the beaver dam with blossoms and baby fruit early in the spring. Note cage to keep beavers away.
