Gone Feral In Idaho

Orange Icicle, Pearly Pink, Egg Yolk, 2 black cherries, and two of the world's smallest Mortgage Lifters up top. My favorite way of processing tomatoes this year is in the dehydrator with Italian herbs. They turn into delicious sun-dried tomatoes fairly easily.    We were really pleased with the tomato pergola experiment. I should have taken photos before the above harvest, but got to carried away to do so. You get the idea. Our artichokes did send out some blooms, they just never looked right for harvest and are now ready to bloom. I'm O.K. with that.

I've never been to either one of those places and being the crazy Halloween lady I am, thi...

More wonderful photos here.

We harvested over ten ponds of mostly All Blue and a few runty Russet potatoes tonight. I love the color of the Blues and can't wait to make some up for dinner tomorrow.

Kyle humored me and we rode down to the Spirit of Boise night show tonight. He was a real sport. I wanted to try some low light night shots. Wow, that was the largest crowd of people I'd ever seen at an event in Boise. I've never been to the fireworks show, that must be nuts. The County fair has a ton of people, but this was in just one park for one event.
