First of the garlic just got cleaned. It cured in the barn for a few weeks, but I cant keep it there when these temps hit 95 plus. Sooooo....off to the root cellar to keep until the heat blows by.
Inchelium red, Transylvanian, and a whole bushel of Chesnock red. 75 lbs so far, season is looking up.

Unfortunately two out of three apple trees I have exploded their trunks few weeks ago. I wrapped them kind of closed with a hemp string, but they're both turning brown :-(

It looks a bit surreal to have red, almost ready to pick apples hanging on branches with curled dry brown leaves.

I'm told apple tree trunks exploding are somewhat common if there is a lot of rainfall after a period of dry and hot weather. They both just started producing good amount of fruit last year.

At last I had good crop of American blueberries. Here's a picture I took few days ago :)

The cones supposedly help the soil to be more acidic as those berries like acidic soil.
 
Mrs 11th Corps garden produced delicious sweet corn, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini. She was not happy with the broccoli and will not plant it again next year.
 
Hopefully Henri doesnt wipe out my garden, but since I live right on the oceanfront in southern Massachusetts, luck is not on my side.

I harvested what I can, some Indian Corn and pumpkins, but only a handful of beans.

We shall see what, if anything, survives. Apparently the storm is hitting during low tide, so *maybe* the surge wont get over the seawall, but it is already windy AF outside.
