Garden Update

I thought i'd give you all a mid summer garden update :) Everything seems to be growing well, even if it did take 2 days of my mother in law and i weeding to find it. With moving and just being so busy and then some realy hot weather, the weeds kind of took over.

As you can see there's still a bit of weeding left to do, but it's shaping up to be a nice looking garden :) From left to right in this picture there are tomatoes, 2 rows of carrots, beets, lettuce, and cucumbers; then in the back same direction broccoli, 2 rows of potatoes, and 2 rows of green beens.

I started this broccoli in side this spring so we'd have some early to eat. We picked most of this one right after the picture was taken and ate it for supper! YUM! I dont think growing up that i ever realy appreciated all the fresh veggies we got to eat out of my parents garden. It was just something normal. Now that I'm grown and do the garden from start to finish along with my hubby, i can realy appreciate the food that comes out! Not to mention that its so much better than store bought. I also love the excitement my children get out of seeing the baby plants and getting to pick the ones that are ready!

Some baby cucumbers! Can't wate till they are ready!! We've had lettuce coming out of our ears this year! You can see some of the leaves in this picture. Lots of salad made with the lettuce and baby beet greens!
