I am harvesting a variety of things. A little of this and a little of that!
My big blueberry harvest! I am giving up growing blueberries and giving Mike my two bushes. Maybe he will have better luck than I have had!
A yellow summer squash and a stripe zucchini. This is my first stripe zucchini ever. I am wondering why when all the rest are plain green!
Dug up another cabbage. They sure do make delicious cole slaw!
It seems that there are more hibiscus flowers this year than last. Gorgeous!
Gracie decided to give my sheep a bath. Funny! I grew up on a farm with sheep and we never gave our sheep a bath!!!!!
I decided even with fatigue I should sew a seam now and then and satisfy my creativity. Here are a couple towels to button over the stove handle. I will not be making any more because my sewing machine cannot handle the thickness.

I like the towels you sewed. Too bad you can't make more. They make lovely gifts.
Did that striped zucchini grow on a plant that otherwise had plain green ones?
Hi Granny Marigold, Yes, the stripe zucchini grew on the same plant as the plain green ones. Can you tell me why? I was hoping to make towels for gifts but it is too much work when I have to turn the machine by hand and raise the lever foot. Nancy
Hi Nancy, your garden looks wonderful.
I'm thinking that Santa should bring you a new sewing machine. I love my Brother machine and they are not that expensive and good quality.
Those are very cute towels. I'm glad you have the energy to do it.
Those are lovely towels! I have to get the blueberry bushes I purchased in the ground this fall - I may not have much success with them either as our soil is very alkaline around here. I'll be planting them in a raised bed with a peat/compost mix, so we will see how that goes.
The cabbage looks so good. Too bad your blueberries are not producing. Having a garden is a lot of work. I am thinking of taking my garden fence down and just have a raised bed or two. Of course, I will have to fence those because of the wild deer.
Hope you are feeling better.
Hugs,

Hi Connie, Thanks! I really do like my machine even if it didn't handle the thickness well. It is a Kenmore and one of the older ones that is metal and not plastic. Sew great otherwise. Nancy
Hi Daphne, Inch by inch I can accomplish a little! Better than sitting around feeling sorry for myself! Nancy
Hi Margaret, Thanks! Our son came and dug mine up this afternoon. Hope he has better luck than me. I did add some special soil to them when we planted and also added coffee grounds and coffee for awhile. Good luck on yours! Nancy
Hi Audrey, Thanks! My gardening is getting smaller and smaller! I think you will like raised beds. Make them high enough so that you don't have to bend over! Nancy
Hi Nancy! That's odd about the zuchinni! Something to do with polination I suppose. The towels are neat! I'm glad you had the energy to finish them! I don't blame you for not making more. Sounds a bit frustrating. I hope you get your full energy back soon! Prayers for you! Blessings from Bama!
I've been missing your post! Your blueberry harvest looks like my onion harvest. :) I don't have one bit of luck growing fruit...of any kind! Glad to have found your blog again. Henny
Wow, that is some cabbage! I bet it does taste great! So glad you have clean sheep ;p;!

Hi Henny Penny, I missed your visits. Glad you could come again. My onion harvests are not all that great either!! Nancy
Hi Carol, That was a a big one! I have two or three more but they don't look as large. Thanks for visiting! Nancy
Nancy, I always envy your picture perfect harvests! Have to say I love the tea towels.
Hi Felecia, I never thought about pollination maybe making the stripe zucchini. I would have liked to have made more towels if my machine could handle the thickness better! Thanks for your prayers. Can't wait to improve in the energy department! Nancy
Hi Leigh, Picture perfect? Ha! Far from it. Nice that you think so though. Glad you liked the towels. Wish I could have made more! Nancy
