It has been a week of the harvest. Roger Swain arrived at the office carrying crates of beautiful fruit⎯Gravenstein apples, ‘Sungold’ cherry tomatoes, five varieties of grapes (including concord, which were my favorite), and two kinds of plums. He picked all of it from his garden, and all had amazing flavor. Our advertising and marketing director, Barbara Emerson, also brought in beautiful heirloom tomatoes (‘Black’ variety) and cherry tomatoes from her garden.
   

With fruit on the brain I went excitedly to my own garden after work last night. Although it was on a much smaller scale, I had a fun harvest of my own, and a little to share! I had two heirloom tomatoes (‘Better Boy’), a summer squash, a cucumber, three carrots, and lots of cherry tomatoes and basil to pick.
   

Back in June, I planted Achillea ‘Apricot Delight’ (Achillea millefolium) and Cosmos ‘Sensation Blend’ (Cosmos bipinnatus) around my vegetable garden. I’m glad I did it⎯I enjoy seeing their pink flowers when I visit my garden at the end of the day.
