LB summer luv

6:20pm. 89* in LB. dinner on the barbe, worms in the green composter, wetsuit drying from a day of fun in the sun. life is good.

strawberries keep pumping out more and more.

the little tomato that could (this plant DIED...or so i thought so i've been neglecting watering it. i came back from vacation and look what i found.)


best garden gloves i've had. thank you sambazon!

this is how I do independence day

WOW

i know we're at the cusp of summer and all i can think about is tomatoes, berries, corn and other warm weather delights, but i ran across this beautiful picture of a persimmon tree today. absolutely lovely. this fall fruit makes such a color statement in a yard and i think i'll have to add it to my current list of trees i want in my garden one day:

• Lemon (of course! i'm one of the biggest lemon freaks on the planet)
• Guava (strawberry-guava is a fav)
  
• Hass Avocado
• Pink Grapefruit
• Peach
• Persimmon
• Black Mission Fig (i've got to represent my Fresno roots)
