Cucumbers are coming on fast and furious. A quart jar of hamburger dills for the fridge. Took me 20 min.

Made the sweets and beets salad tonight with grilled chicken thigh. Could have skipped the chicken though. The salad was a full meal deal. It was absolutely delicious! B loved it.

Let us take a moment and bask in the beauty of the beet. 💕

Been gathering fallen apricots this past week and refrigerating. B being a trooper and going out to gather. Got about 8 lbs to juice into apricot nectar this morning. 1/2 gallon plus 1 pt. Getting to the end of this harvest. Whew!

Tuna salad/ fat salad. I’ve come full circle.., all the greens and veggies in this salad I grew. Mixed lettuces, carrots, radish, onion, cukes, tomatoes. Some feta and slivered almonds for a quick dinner that is salad.

I broke down and baked… in the summer. In my defense it was only 83 today not 93 or 103.
Gf huckleberry scones to go with our morning coffee. 🙌🏻

More green beans from the greenhouse . But these are winding down. But I do have bush beans coming on out in the garden. 2 zucchini ready and a couple of cukes. A mini glut of tomatoes. Went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. Cruised thru the the produce section and I didn’t need a thing but watermelon.👍🏻 This last day in July and veggie and fruit is ramped.

This Greek Pasta Salad is light and fresh, loaded with garden tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers. Perfect for summer parties or potlucks!

Escaped to the Mts for some fun. Cooler cloudy day and it was perfect. And no mosquitoes! It was dry and dusty though. Huckleberries are ready and the hunt is on! Many people up there doing the same. We went up early and came back early. Rain showers on the drive back. This took B and I around 1.5 hrs to pick 1.5 lb lbs. Don’t let the size fool you. They are like blueberries on steroids bursting with berry flavor.

It was a horrendously windy smoky day. Stinky too. The wind died down so we could enjoy on the deck dining. Ragu sauce over GF gnocchi. Side of steamed broccoli w basil oil.

Drying some apricots today.

Walk about the farm at sunset. Apricot tree dropping cots on the tarps. Honey crisp tree loaded. One of six. First planting of Corn is doing well. And the zucchini explosion. Very smoky day

Jammed the cots. Apricot Rosemary. Last time I had a substantial harvest was 2019.

More beans today. About 4 lbs. split it up between the family.

Middle of apricot harvest. My first zucchini! Neighbors cat bringing me a vole- AGAIN. I intercepted the delivery. He was rather out of sorts after that.

Fat salad night. Made my version of the Bees Knees back and blue steak salad. Of course the brisket was way better. Did some power greens of kale, spinach, baby bokchoy w the romaine.

B gave me this pasta maker attachment a few years ago. Seemed a bit daunting at the time. Didn’t find an easy pasta recipe until recently. Plus the price of eggs were insane. It worked pretty well. Used 3 eggs. Got the hang of it pretty quickly. Letting it dry out by the fireplace.
