i come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses.....

unfortunately this weekend was cut short. we arrived in clayton friday afternoon, ready to take on anything the weekend gave us. then i got sick with billy's bug that he had last week. so we drove home today. but we did stop by mom's to raid the garden. while i was picking my green tomatoes for fried green tomatoes, billy was playing photographer....

billy found a birds nest with a baby in it in a maple mom and george had planted. he took some pics of it, that did not really come out well. but this was obviously the momma bird because she was going crazy. she kept flying by with food in her mouth for the baby, as the baby is screaming because it was hungry, but i guess because we were near by she was not wanting to go to the nest.... the karpel community garden.....they have EVERYTHING, red onions, purple onions, beets, hot peppers, green peppers, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, it goes on and on. and even things that they didn't plant, such as a lone sunflower...hmmmm....

the watchdog of the garden, willie
the gardener, george!

the harvest!! green tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, new potatoes and peaches (obviously not from the garden)
seriously, mom and george should set up a vegetable stand and rake in some profit!!!!
