I have enough for neighbors now, too.
And I'm wondering what to do with the beets. I used to get them for my neighbors at my old neighborhood.
Do you eat beet greens? These are beautiful.
Picking late Chester (black) berries in LaConner tonight.
I haven't picked in a few years and I've missed it. The berries are now 2.00 a lb. I used to pay 1.00 lb.
The berries open in July with Catata berries, a sweet blackberry, Waldo blackberries, boysenberries, raspberries of course, and strawberries...The blackberries are usually over 1.5 inches long each. And the vines are thornless. It's like picking jewels from a vine.
Swanson Brothers Farm also sells; chard, beets, kale, potatoes (of several varieties) including yukon gold, russets, and reds. Also carrots, onions, squash; zucchini and a few yellow varieties, cucumbers, both eating and pickling types, green and yellow beans, peas, and apples. One year one of the brothers gave me free rhubarb.
The LaConner turkey's hatched some new 'turklings'. Mom was cute helping her chicks cross the road.
On the way home a beautiful sun set and a full moon rose. Another lovely day.
Tomorrow blueberries in Snohomish.

From the trail at Fort Ebey
It's a bluff hike and there are warnings to stay on the trail. But we all know human nature! And it's obvious here that the wear to the edge is well worn.
In all fairness to innocent inexperienced hikers and children, I think the sign should show how an overhang appears to be safe from on ground, but can easily give way.
This is the other end of a hike I take a lot on Ebey's Landing.
