from the garden

Here are just a few of the things we've been harvesting from our garden. You know a lot is growing when it becomes a chore to have to go outside to pick it!

Lettuce and Strawberries

Elephant Garlic

Yellow Bush Beans

What's growing now:

LOTS and LOTS of cherry tomatoes (3 cheers for the mexico midgets...)

The beefsteak and paste tomatoes are just starting to ripen. I had a slice of one on my egg sandwich this morning. Definitely worth the wait!

We have a 6'x6' bed of sweet potatoes in fulls wing, but we won't harvest them until the fall.

A row of peanut sprouts (to harvest in the fall...homemade peanut butter). This is Gabe's baby.

Jalapenos, habaneros, cherry peppers, and cayenne peppers. Salsa anyone?

A huge head of red cabbage

Basil, basil, basil

2 baby watermelons

Gourds (both the bottleneck and easter egg varieties I've grown in the past...they came up as volunteers)

Coming soon:

Kale

Mustard Greens

Collard Greens

Carrots

Acorn Squash

What I really need to get outside and plant, but have been ignoring because of the heat and mosquitoes:

Lettuce

Another pumpkin (the vine I had going died from the heat and lack of water...)

Beets

Radishes
