August garden update

While other things may be more important... here is the August garden update.

Heirloom Tomatoes

Small ( Grape or Cherry? ) tomatoes

Anaheim Peppers

Other Tomatoes

A Tokyo cherry blossom bonsai, 1 1/2 months old.

Finally, my only sunflower. It's about 7 ft tall and just starting to bloom. This was the only of 12 seeds to sprout.

* To be clear - all the vegetables are my mom's work!

Sonoma Springs & Lagunitas Brewing Co's

I took a little trip up to Petaluma on Saturday to visit two great breweries.

First we stopped by Sonoma Springs Brewing Co. and sampled the four beers they were pouring. Almost all of us had a Groupon in hand for a growler full of beer, so we left with several gallons of great beer.

This was the 'Dark IPA'

This is really the whole place. It's a small setup.

I have no pictures of Lagunitas, but I promise that it was worth visiting. To me it's the closest thing to Stone Brewery that exists in Northern California. ( Except even more family & dog friendly. )
