Harvest Time!

Photobucket
It's here! The point at which every farmer looks forward to. The point at which they actually reap what they've sown. It's harvest time! Bryan is crazy busy working every point of daylight. I would complain about hardly seeing him, except for the fact that he brings home mouthwatering food. If you've never had an organic peach or apple straight off the tree--then you don't know what you're missing. At this point I'm eating about 5 apples a day and Bryan is eating about 20. Haha!
Here are some of the other foods we are harvesting...
Coco's Sweet Pear Tomatos--Bryan's boss was a tomato breeder and this is his perfect tomato named after his wife =)

Basil! Almost every meal we make has basil in it. Pesto...Mmm!!

The following is Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil. It makes a rich wholesome tea. It also doesn't have that bitter taste that teas get if they are over steeped. It's full of antioxidants and wonderful for lowering blood glucose levels, as well as cholesterol.
