It means something different to each person, but to me, right now luxury means summer
time and summer
produce, and now, after a long school year full of transitions and unique challenges, I am rich in both.
Summer is here—just look at what today gave me.
 |
| The last potato harvest of the season, mostly my favorite variety, Viking Purple. |
 |
| The first meal-sized harvest of green beans, Jeminez, Goldmarie, and Blue Coco. |
 |
| Blueberries! Almost a pint basket in today's harvest. |
 |
| Eva's Pride peaches. I'm happily swimming in them, and I'll tell you more about them in tomorrow's post. |

Congratulations on your spectacular harvest. The lushness of the peaches remind me of Georgio O'keeffe
PA: Yes, they take a little coddling since both our soil and our water are so alkaline and they need acidity. I plant them in a giant planter filled with peat and the contents of a worm bin. I mulch it heavily with live oak leaves. The planter gets about half a day's sun, not a full day. Sunshine Blue is the easiest variety to grow here. I should write a post about blueberries!
Liz: The Viking Purple are gorgeous, deep purple with deep pink splotches. The flesh is bright white. They're delicious, kind of sweet and nutty, and very versatile too.
Coral: Thank you!
Mary Hysong: What kind of peach do you have, again? It is so nice to have home grown fruit.
