Large gray tub filled with dahlia blossoms of many colors. Lavender, pink, white, magenta, and red blossoms
Saving the blooms that I could before the eminent freeze. Hopefully I've cataloged them better than I did last year. I had 85 ft of dahlias. Hopefully I can double that with division.🌱 #spokanegardener

Two large cardboard boxes full of cherry tomatoes tomatillos and bell peppers, sitting on a large flatbed garden cart.
We are slated to get a freeze sometime this weekend. Managed to get one 90 ft row of cherry tomatoes and half of the pepper row. 2morrow I'll harvest chilies, eggplants & 2 other rows of tomatoes. I probably still have 500 lbs of tomatoes to pick. Running out of time...and space #spokanegardener 🌱

it's a two basket day
I'm sweating and it's getting bad so I'm calling it. slept some, it helped. Spokane summer is the best time to have the sleep disorder I've got- i just naturally siesta.
i want a cold beer then to go back to bed for the "night".

a half pint of jam that's orange-pink in the sun
canning jars with small labels that say "sun jam" on some of them. for those interested, "sun jam" is Rainier cherries, lemon, apple pectin, almond extract, and beet sugar. the other unlabeled jars will say "BLOOOOOD" and it's Bing cherries, molasses, cane sugar, lime, vanilla extract, and apple pectin.
a dark red jam in a small canning jar
a tall cherry tree in which a person is climbing high up, picking cherries with no ladder. they've climbed the tree. it's me, I'm doing it. I nearly gave my friend who owns the tree a heart attack doing this. but I like climbing trees.
I picked 30 pounds of cherries from a Rainier and a Bing tree at my friend's house. I have made so much jam and jelly. I'm done now.
it's like potato mountain all over again but sticky
