Garden Update

A photo tour of the garden since the last update. (Most recent are first.)

The haul this morning. Can you guess what didn't come form the garden? :)
Overflowing parsley. When I see people buying it at the store I always wish for a way to give them some of ours! The basil is also growing back after I picked it clean for a couple of batches of pesto and freezer storage. Thanks for the good ideas!
A couple of new peppers. (We ate the one on the left for dinner tonight.)

"Say cheese" face. (I think she looks like Josiah in this pic...)

She is fun :)

Proud of our harvest.
After picking, she wouldn't put them down. This was coming back from the mailbox.
And when I finally had her put them on the counter, she was ok with that for about a split second. Then we had a teachable moment :)

First baby watermelon. This guy is a little bigger than a softball now. While he is growing nicely, we have been told that the first frost will come before it ripens.

Tomatoes starting to ripen!

The very first picking.

It took a couple of months, but the watermelon vine finally took off.

Parsley earlier on.

Baby pepper.

First turning tomatoes.

Vines are loaded!

The first pepper we picked- the first real fruit of the garden!

  1. Looking good! Glad Sarah will know where veggies come from. I particularly like the counters in the produce box -- it is good to keep count of your pickins!

  2. Beautiful garden products. What a wonderful way to get kids to eat veggies. Sarah looks so pleased, and hope she likes all those veggies too. I am so proud of you both. You can't get any fresher.

    Thanks for sharing your lives with all of us.

    Love, Grandma Lynda

  3. I had to laugh at the "teachable moment" bit - I like your terminology! :)
