A small bucket of blackberries, sweet peppers, hot peppers, some tomatoes and a bunch of cucumbers. This is only the stuff I had to pick today because the plants were getting overloaded or because I hate seeing the fruit of the garden and hard work go to waste.

We are in the middle of a heating wave in the Charlotte area but the garden needs attention, so I got up early and tried to make the best of the ‘cooler’ morning weather.
