Well, I am finally back to let everyone know what's growing and ready to harvest here in Baldwin County. I see the sweet corn up the road is starting to tassel so it will not be long before those delicious roasting ears are available. Cassebaum's sign says they will be opening in June and I am sure they will be having the same high quality produce that they always have. Hillcrest farms is getting ready for the soon to start blueberry season and the Peebles' farm will be having sweet mouth watering blackberries before long.

I have green tomatoes the size of baseballs on my vines and will soon be picking the first of my pole beans. Strawberries are already being harvested along with potatoes, peaches, and butterbeans. I put up my first batch of peach jam today and soon will be filling jars with blackberry and grape jams and jellies.

We have had a really nice long spring this year with an ample supply of rain, but now it looks like we may be in for an extended dry spell, so the best part of the spring harvest may be the first crops. We have also been enjoying a nice harvest from our asparagus patch, getting about 1 to 2 lbs a week, for our Sunday dinner.
