Last Tastes and Harvests of Summer

Just as we were thinking summer was about gone, we realized our blueberry and apple 'crops' were about ready for harvest and the roses are still blooming. The blueberries are at their peak and the apples are not far behind. We should be harvesting them later this month. We'll need another couple of weeks for the blackberries, though.

Surprisingly, we don't fertilize, spray, or even water these plants, at all. They just thrive being cared for by mother nature. We do have to compete with the birds, deer, and squirrels to get our share, though.
