Produce Producing

We've had a very different year in terms of weather much like the rest of the country. Our May and June which normally are our hottest driest months were cool and wet. July which is usually cooler and wetter has been hot but still wet.

As a result Wife's garden is growing in a very different manner than in years past. The foliage of the plants is very skimpy but they are putting out a lot of fruit. We've already been using quite a bit which is not normal.

Our Peach Tree Peaching

We've got flotillas of peaches and they are going to all ripen at once.

New Mexico Green Chile
I've done a couple of meals with chiles already and usually they don't come in until late in August

Tomatoes as well - another one that usually is much later


Blackberries blackening


The golden raspberry bushes are going nuts

With plenty of fruit

Peaching? Is that really what it's called when Peach tree bears fruit? Look at all your goodies! The strange weather has served you well.

I'm a little but jealous. If you need to get rid of some of it before it turns, feel free to send a care package.

For those in the same boat as me:

Haha... get it? "Same boat?" "Fleet?" HAHAHAHAHA!! I'm soooo funny!

Anyway, your garden is quite impressive. I've never been very successful at growing fruit-stuffs. Which is odd, since we DO have rain up here. By "lots of rain," you mean you've received like a quarter inch, right? :)
