Jeremy wanted a garden for years and I wouldn't let him do one since the only place that we have is on the side of our front yard. Well, I finally gave in and one year later I have to say that I L-O-V-E, LOVE my garden! I say "my" because the kids and I usually work in it since we have Jeremy so busy. It has been fun to see the kids learning about the different plants, seeds, leaves, flowers and veggies and how they react to trying the foods that they have grown. They don't give me as big of a hassle about eating their veggies if they came from the garden and they even argue over who is going to help me. They think it is so amazing all that you can get from one little seed. This year we have so much that we have been delivering some to our neighbors and freezing some for Poppy so that he will have fresh veggies for after his stem cell transplant. Here are some pictures of our flourishing garden...
Potatos
We plan on delivering to neighbors again today, and Monday I plan on making a donation of potatos to the Good Shepard Mission. We got so many today that it filled a basket. And that was only 1 row! How many different potato dishes are there? I think I may need to go to foodnetwork.com and find some!
Onions
The onion plants put off the prettiest flowers and they attract all kinds of butterflies, bees and other flying critters that help us pollenate our garden! I have really enjoyed cooking with the onions that we have grown and they smell so good!
Yellow Squash
This is just what we picked today. We have picked about 8 other squash this big or bigger!
Sugar Snap Peas and Bush Beans
This is just today's harvest. I can't tell you how many baggies I have frozen or the kids have delivered. We are going to be eating beans several times a week!
