The Fruits of My Labour

I just wanted to share a few shots of some of my backyard bounty this year.  The sunflowers were a HUGE success and the bees were just loving them.


Our peach tree only produced one peach this year, but he was a big one, and very tasty.  We named him James, and eventually had to pick him for fear that he would break the branch he was on.


The ever-bearing strawberries have lived up to their name, although we have had trouble beating the slugs to a lot of them.

And it's been a big year for plums.  Not pictured here are the new raspberries, because we just eat them too fast, and the not so productive blueberries.
