Garden Update!

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the state of our garden. It's safe to say that the pictures weren't exactly "recent" but I had hoped to write more about the progress of our very first raised bed garden. I think it's doing QUITE well!
The week after the 4th of July, we picked our first zucchini and cucumbers. The girls were SO excited and (of course) each picked a zuchhini and (of course) argued about who would pick the very first cuke. I can imagine the neighbors watching a "nice little family" out in their little garden as the five and nine year old start battling it out over a cucumber! Yes, that is our life!

Ha, how funny! We have had a few hiccups in the garden. My kids like to pick anything with any hint of color! Then I realized you really have to have an eye for color with some of our veggies ~ like the sungold tomatoes have to be really orange, not orange with a hint of green, before they are actually ripe to pick. Most kids aren't going to pick up on that. Hope you are having a good day!
ReplyDeleteNice!! I love seeing people's harvest! We have a few green peppers growing and a lot of green tomatoes....our cukes have yet to come around but we are crossing our fingers :) I can only imagine the arguments when it comes time to pick....we will have to come up with a system!! lol :) Thanks for sharing your update!
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteHaha Jessica, that sounds sooooo familiar. We have a huge veg garden, fruit orchard, nut trees, olive grove, chickens etc. and I can't tell you how many times I've had to arbitrate over which child gets to collect the eggs and which one gets to pick the strawberries - because, of course, they can't BOTH do these things! BTW: your garden looks lovely. It's so nice to be able to pick your own food and then cook and eat it.
ReplyDeleteYay! How exciting! I love it that the girls are thrilled over all the veggies. We have been harvesting so many cucumbers lately. It's awesome! It seems like summer squash grows so fast. I am always amazed at how much it grows in just a few short days!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a garden and I've always wanted to have one but I don't have a green thumb like my parents do. Everything I plant seem to always die. You do have a lovely garden and it's great picking your own veggies.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I have thought about starting my own garden and this is just the inspiration that I was searching for. Thank you!

We share the same hobby! We also have a vegetable garden in our backyard and it feels good when harvesting.
