This year I am have been trying to have some of my heirloom  veggies  go to seed. This is a beet from my winter  garden (notice in the bottom of the picture).  I am waiting for the seed to dry out so I can pull it.

Banana tree with a really crazy sunflower. Macadamia nut trees in the background.

We started our very own strawberry patch. Well, I can't say it is ours, it belongs more to the blue jays.

The tomatoes are coming. We planted A LOT of our favorites this year (pretty sure they are brandywine).

Our 1st time growing Paty Pan squash (scallop squash). They are amazing!

The jacaranda trees are in full bloom, you should see the ground!

Eggs hatching!

Step 1, Baby starts to peck from inside the egg.

Step 2, they peck in a circle all the way around the egg (sometimes the mama helps).

Step 3, they push the two parts of the egg apart. This whole process is not as fast as it looks, it can take up to 48 hours.

And there we have it! It looks kind of exhausting to me!

It's heating up!

There is a pretty nice pool on our property that Logan and I take  full  advantage of. Lots of swimming  for us!
