Growing season



It's growing season here at Orchard Country Produce and we are feeling it!

Picking apples, peaches, pears, plums, EVERYTHING! It's just all coming in at the same time.


I finally got around to taking some pictures of all these fruits and vegetables.





Asian Pears


HUGE heirloom tomatoes. This particular one is a pink brandywine.







Getting ready to pick peaches.







Castleton plums





Whoooooooooo!








Some of these trees were so loaded that the branches were snapping...:(





My favorite alien-looking vegetable to pick: Kohlrabi




Lemon Cucumbers





That is pretty much what I have been up to! :-) I'll post more later.

Cora, Thanks! The Lemon Cucumbers are an heirloom variety. I think they're better than the normal ones!!!! :D
Thanks Desirae!
