it's finally time for us to begin picking things from the garden! hooray!
the first thing we got was a jalapeno a few weeks ago. turns out, it was a hot one, at least according to austin's and ben's faces.
we've also cut a lot of spinach from the garden already.
we've used it for salads, margherita pizzas, and fritatta.
just yesterday we cut a giant head of broccoli off and used it in hummus and veggie wraps for dinner. yum.
we've got three more big bunches of broccoli that we just cut that we froze for use in dinners later.
{please enjoy my awesome photography skills that make this brocolli appear to be this odd shade of blue}
we're also about to be up to our ears in corn... get it? ears? corn? no? anyway.
i think at last count there were over 50 tomatoes growing on our three plants. too bad i don't like tomatoes...
my cucumber plants are taking over the whole garden and we've got a few itty bitty cucumbers growing.
and our beans are finally starting to climb up the corn stalks. we'll probably drown in green beans by the end of the summer.
our beets are busting out of the ground.
and now {unrelated to gardening} a few photos i've not shared yet.
ben and austin... post jalapeno burn.

so yeah. that's my life currently.
{p.s.- i wrote this post almost a week ago. and i never got all the pictures uploaded. because i'm lazy. but i finally did it. so there. but currently, my life is actually quite exciting because KASEY IS HERE!!!!}
I am SOOOOO impressed with your awesome garden!!!! And I'm JEALOUS! This is my second time to do a garden, and so far - nothing has died. :) I've NEVER been able to actually harvest anything. I'm growing sugar snap peas, zucchini, squash, and cucumbers - I went small, but I'm hoping that I won't kill anything this time! :)
ReplyDeleteif nothing has died, then you're doing great! we actually lost a jalapeno pepper plant and all of our onions died and our romaine lettuce tasted like horseradish... so you win some you lose some, right? haha! p.s. i'm hoping you can add me to your list of approved people to see your blog, i'd love to be able to keep up with you and the kiddo... and your garden, too! :)
Deleteoooohhh Sarah, Me too! Me too! I hate not hearing what you guys have been up to.
