First harvest of the season

Sweet peppers from the first harvest of the season.

Tomato Apocalypse

We had our first tomatoes from the planters last night. They were yellow, plum sized, and delicious. Our first harvest was a part of sweet peppers, but I've lost the photos of those. Looking at the plants this AM clearly we're going to be overwhelmed in the next few weeks.

Unfortunately the Russian Thistle is an invasive species, but its flowers are pretty regardless.

Camera Test: Nikon 1 V1

A neighbor was kind enough to loan me his Nikon 1 V1 mirror-less interchangeable lens digital camera. I took it out around the neighborhood today to see what it could do. I was prepared to be underwhelmed, and its operation is a bit strange coming from a DSLR perspective, but the quality of the images blew me away.
