Blueberries are finally here! Talk about a perfect snack in the field, I have to stop myself from eating too many. I think we may be able to start harvesting a few cucumbers next week, (another one of my favorites) especially once we are picking tomatoes! Cucumber and tomato salad with shaved asiago/parmesan/romano blend, then my wife makes a dressing using the Ponchy pepper jelly we have, man is it good!! Tomatoes are looking good but I am afraid we won't see any by Mother's Day (my annual goal for 1st tomato harvest) hoping the following week though.
