Survival, I too have a Bumper crop of delicious Mulberries. Also have apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums and a ton of Anna apples. They grow abundantly here in my climate. Veggies include zucchini, yellow squash, saucer squash and tomatoes. Limited on what I can grow cause I'm not around much and they have to take care of themselves......and of course avocados. I also have a macadamia nut tree that produces many nuts every year. Oh yeah, couple of orange trees, lime trees, kumquat tree...a big sage bush and a few boysenberries. If I could afford H20 I'd be in fat city.
Nice to hear from Yo All and your growing adventures. :D lynnie

It's been a tough year for gardening. Last night I harvested the 'taters and a kuke, yummy! I have high hopes for my tomato(e)s and the raspberries are OFF THE HOOK. We ate salad for about ten weeks but now it's all bolted. The rains look to be starting up again, so maybe it's time to plant some more.
Fingers still crossed for the artichoke...

Welcome to our gardens @ 3,000ft. Sierra western slope.....
No vegetables yet but the giant lotus' are going nuts....
The water lilies are looking fine....
Our very own Half Dome....
Veggies on their way, tomatoes aren't here until late Aug or Sept....
So while we wait we don't watch them grow, we climb....
With a watchful eye on my master gardener....
The master gardener emerges from a granite crack....
So we can go back to the garden & feed the fish....
Life is great on the western slope.......Berg Heil.

whoa.... badass on the Lotus flower. Wow!
I didn't do much in the garden this year. It's a good thing as I'm moving out in a week. I did plant peppers and Basil. I'm about to harvest 27 million pounds of basil. Gallons of pesto anyone? Pesto Sushi?

Here's our humble garden in Bishop where the bright Sierra sun makes the plants extremely happy and productive. Funny how fast they grow, especially when you're not watching them and going climbing instead. Thank the heavens for automatic drip systems. See complete story at:

Survival,
Our garden here in NW Montana is no match for what you have going on where you are. Peaches? Wow.
Or how about that garden in Bishop? Another reason to drool over the east side of the Sierra's.
We had a late start, we waited until the June monsoon was over, and we planted starts from one of our local organic farmers.
We are sticking to the basics this year; lettuce, garlic, onions, broccoli, kohlrabi, winter and summer squashes, tomatoes, basil, peas, beans,and swiss chard.
So far we have harvested salads, and one round of basil and garlic for my wife's awesome pesto. True bounty won't be for another month.
We also keep a small flock of birds for eggs-

Telemon,
That's a beautiful garden! It looks uh....tidier...than ours.
I'm really stoked about my Big Jim chile. You can buy them by the gunny sack around here in central NM, but I've never grown them before.
We have some chickens too, still youngsters, not laying just yet.
I'll take some pics of them later too I suppose.
One of our friendly pest control methods.
Roses still jamming too!
