These are some of our tall tomato plants with grape vines and strawberries in the background.  Tomatoes are just starting to ripen and be picked for the table here in our northern late summer.  Grapes are ready to be picked but could be a little riper.  Peaches are about through.  They have been huge---as big as softballs this year!  We have given away many peaches, and I will be canning the rest this week.  And blackberries are so plentiful right now that we picked three gallons today.  They are as large as cherries and so beautiful.  Strawberries need to be picked every day.  We get at least a quart a day from our small circular bed.  We make a great dessert of strawberries and blackberries with maple syrup on it.
