We got strawberries!!! I finally outsmarted the birds/beasts that were teasing me and making me crazy by eating my garden.
Cute, perfect little berry. Yummy too.
Cherry tomatoes!! This is from Dallas' plant. He is so proud of himself for helping with the garden. He'll weed and water whenever we ask. Too bad he isn't so nice when it comes to sharing. After I took this photo, they were all in his mouth. I have to sneak one if I want any to eat.
Blurry, but this is as good as it gets. This kid won't stop moving for anything. And he needs a haircut.
TADA!!!! I am so proud. This is our contraption that Toby and I created. It is so easy and light, but keeps ALL major pests away and still lets in the bees, water and sun.
Check out our watermelon! We have a total of 12 growing strong. Some of them are almost done since we planted ones that won't get too big.
The D man by "his" watermelon.
If you were to ask him-everything in the garden is "his"
Basil anyone??? I had the smaller plant and almost killed it (by not planting it quick enough) so I bought another one and now I have a TON of basil. I've cut off a bunch to give away and I still have all this left! Think I will cut a bunch and dry it for the winter. I love basil.
Our cantaloupe! We have about 7 of these. I sure hope they taste good. I love a sweet slice of cantaloupe with a sprinkle of salt. yum!
Our pumpkins are already turning orange! We have 5 large ones and two little ones. Enough for my family. I was hoping to get one and now I have 7!
Even when I threaten them, they still play in the dirt. Even in their cute church clothes. BOYS!
I've managed to get 3 peppers off this plant. We made lime soup with them and it was so dang good. Think it was my best since I used the onions and peppers from my garden. :)
I felt so cool.
My lone green pepper. I had grand plans of making stuffed green peppers......but this is the only one we're getting. Think I'll be eating it raw instead. I have two other ones waiting to turn red. We didn't get any orange or yellow ones. Lots of flowers, but no peppers. I've asked around and heard that others had problems with peppers this year too. I'll try again next year.
I have LOVED having a garden. What a great experience to share with my little family. We have worked hard out there and I have really enjoyed it. How awesome it is to cook with things that I have grown.
