Venkatesh Family Farm

I don't wish to claim any credit for my parents' labor of love. But I make the smoothies daily! And I do resist the frequent temptation to weed out the more abominable vegetables in the garden (bitter gourd, for instance).
Grapes galore.
The coolest spot in the yard, also helps keep away the birds.
Peaches are not so lucky.
Come on, birds, eat one full fruit instead of nibbling at 20 of them!
Peach-grape smoothies. There's enough fruit to last another 2 weeks at least.
Little raspberries.
A single strawberry.
Gravity-defying Thai chilies.
Gravity-obeying green chili.
Lime.
Curry leaves.
The Lone Cucumber
Tomatoes fresh off the vine.
