Happy 4th of July!
July 4, 2010Broccoli, strawberries, and burgers on the grill
What a summer we’re having, after what a spring, after what a winter! The garden has provided us with HUGE broccoli and so early. They’ve been delicious and we learned our golden retriever, Woody, likes it as well. After we cut the first large heads we noticed Woody chomping on the stems. Sadly, we won’t be getting any of the follow-up small florets. Our tomato plants have tomatoes already, pinch me it is only the 4th of July, isn’t it?!
The strawberries are in the freezer and the jam is made. We continue to eat fresh ones on biscuits out of the oven with home-made whipped cream. MMMMMMM! Tomorrow we’re headed up to Freedom to pick raspberries.
Some of you must have experienced the big wind last week with the rainstorms. One gust swooped through our property and took this tree down with it. Yes, a very large tree that we were glad went across the lawn and not towards our home because, it certainly would have done some damage.

Happy 4th of July to you and yours too! Those strawberries do look good : )
Argy, Fabulous looking broccoli! Eating garden produce must be a GR trait. Our GR Fisher didn’t keep the woodchucks out of the garden, he competed with them!
I bet someone has done research on this… I will have to check it out! Gotta love our Golden Retrievers!
