The big harvest of garlic (half of which is pictured -- a quarter bushel) adds some spice to life on the hill. Our wonderful three blueberry bushes have yielded nearly 12 cups this year, while raspberries have been tasty, even in lower amounts than usual due to the wet summah. And, with much joy on our part, some great carrots were pulled out of the east garden bed by the house this morning, with the short and stocky example pictured destined for a salad today.
