Amberglen Farm: Apricots and Onions

Summer is here, and we have tons of apricots! The tree is just loaded.

Buddy demonstrates the ripeness.

And Rick stalks them.

We've also harvested almost all the onions by now. These are the cipriolinis

And we got a huge bunch of hamburger reds also.

I braided a lot of them.

What We're Eating
We've been eating like kings! Nathan has been cooking for us all. This was curried chicken over rice with naan bread.

For Rock Band on the 7th we had French Onion soup. Keith shows off his new mug.

Then he made sausage and more naan with two sauces.

And that's not to mention the apricots.

At my house, the apples are coming along nicely.

The new bed at the farm is fecund with peppers and tomatoes.

The sungolds are already ripe, and the rest of the bushes are laden with fruit.

Peppers are starting to form. This is a Biker Billy.

The zucchinis are producing as well, and I've already made the first batch of zucchini bread. This is one of the first grays, at 6-2.

A couple days later it's ready.

I got the first of one of the three from Renee's seeds, and it's a lovely color. The yellowish one is actually a gray.

Rick has been working on the custom screens for 9th St. Here's one completed. It looks great.

It's getting hot, so we decided Amber needed a hat. She looks styling in her new chapeau.

Weather Note
As is often the case in early June, the weather can't make up its mind. It's hot... then it's not. We had a week or so of really nice 80 degree weather, then we had rain and cooler weather, followed by some days of strong winds. The wind blew this branch down, which barely missed squashing my car.
