Days 368 - 395 Late garden...but ramping up again

As the lemons finally finish, giving 6 months of fruit for lemon water, tabouli, guacamole, and hummus, we now start seeing another part of the garden kick in to take their place. Will I miss having that citrus around? Of course I will...but with peaches, blueberries and cucumbers filling in their place and tomatoes ramping up, I think that we can do without for the next six months.

What we are doing could not happen with a proper balance of produce planted in the yard, especially the fruit trees. I have mentioned in a past post about the Fruit Harvest Chart that Dave Wilson Nursery has on their website and still tout that as a real gardeners resource (especially if you are just starting out in the process of planting).

The blueberries really produced this year. What a treat to be able to walk out to the backyard as the kids are still sleeping, pick a cup or pint of blueberries and have them waiting on the breakfast table as they wake up. I wonder if they are getting spoiled (I feel like I am for sure) and just take if for granted that this is the norm...
