The Summer Gardens

Don't you just love summertime?  Work in the gardens slows while we wait for the fruits of our labors to ripen. Last week we started the harvest, so I thought it would be a good time to share some pics from July and early August with you.  We have harvested Potatoes, Beets and Carrots so far. Enjoy the pics, and when you have the chance, stop in and see the gardens for yourself, we love visitors!
