The only “flowers” for cutting or otherwise that I have are really nothing more than weeds as I have never planted any.

There is so much flora along the creek that we have absolutely NO clue what half of it is. We did discover 2 Bay Laurels and even MORE grapes than we initially thought, as well as tons more wild blackberries!!!!

Unfortunately, the Japanese beetles have also discovered all the flora and are doing a serious number on the grape leaves.

I just could not resist posting this picture. This is my collection of harvested tomatoes and (gulp) a few Habanero peppers thrown in.

These were harvested from Sunday morning to this morning (Tuesday) for the most part the older tomatoes are to the back of each row. The ripe ones in the back get canned today!

From left to right Roma, Marion, Early Girl, (gulp)Habanero peppers, and wonderful pink Arkensas Travelers.

In the center is a very ripe Marion Tomato sitting on an 8 ounce container of sour cream (to show size) - man these guys are prolific and very tasty. Nice slicers!
