Garden Growth
I think our garden has done well this year considering we're rookies at it. The hot weather has taken its toll on it recently, and it probably doesn't look as healthy now as in this picture. Nonetheless, it's been a learning experience. We have gotten a good bit of produce off of it, usually a little more than we can use. The cucumber plants decided to die without much warning. However, we're still waiting to harvest green beans, butternut squash, and most of the tomatoes. We're also still getting some squash, zucchini (I think), lettuce, peppers, and hopefully broccoli. We want to dry/freeze the herbs before they go to waste, too. Kristin's already been working on doing that for her family. I better get busy!
Almost-ready-to-pick green pepper...isn't it such a pretty shade of green?!
A harvest of plenty, all picked in one day (this was atypical, though)
