Mid-July notes...pears!

We just ate a couple of tasty pears, fresh off the tree.  We left 2 that the birds had pecked.

I am not sure if the ones we are were Kieffer or Moonglow, or both, but the ones that we picked that are not ripe are Bartlett. I wonder if I should have left them on the tree, but they were not firmly attached to the tree. We had 18 baby pears, I thinned them out by about half.  
 
There is  a flush of raspberries, but I think the rain has not been good for them.

We are having crazy weather for August. Cool and wet. 

My tomatoes have been a disappointment. Bell Peppers and Okra not as good as usual, but the eggplants are doing well. I am just not  in the mood to eat them. 

I just harvested a bunch of Mister Lincoln rose petals. Washed and dried them and put them in the freezer. I am going to try to root some more cuttings. I love that rose!

My leeks were a disaster. I wonder if I should have harvested them a long time ago. They never got big.

Wonder what my potatoes are doing...they never bloomed, vines never died back. Maybe I will dig them up and replant and maybe eat some as "new potatoes"...I will look up info about them first.

I have had an especially bad year health wise and am having a hard time keeping up with the garden, and everything else.
