I have had a few of the grand kids here this summer. One at a time they have added some joy to my summer and I hope I have done the same for them.
Early on the garden got terraced and planted with the help of some friends. I took a few pictures at the end of the landscaping job and then as it got planted and intermittently over the summer. The Heirloom German Pink tomatoes as of August 16th are over 5 feet tall and loaded with fruit. The Roma tomatoes are almost 4 feet tall and so full it looks like they are clusters of grapes growing.
Everyone is amazed at the productiveness of it. The food pantry is benefiting from it too. The yellow crook neck squash are completely out of control and so are the watermelon. God has been good here. I will take just a little credit for doing companion planting.
I have made a bit of wirewrap jewelry and plan on getting my torch out again to do some silversmithing also.
I got myself a fishing license this year and let my grand daughter teach me how to fish. It was lots of fun. tomorrow summer for the kids is over and they have to get ready for the school routine so no more visiting grand mother.
