Tulsi basil makes great tea! |
Buckwheat - hoping to hand harvest enough for pancakes. |
Another volunteer - husk cherries, which I'm thankful for since none of the ones I tried to grow germinated! |
It's been an incredible squash year - don't be tired of it yet - the season will eventually come to an end. |

New to us this year - red noodles - a yard long "bean" |
The start of fall - germinating radishes |
A wall of beans |
Basil, basil, pesto, pesto! |
