The Garden Bounty!

Oh we are having so much fun with the garden. All my hubby’s hard work is really paying off.

Here are a few pictures of some of this weeks harvest.

Yummy cucumbers!

Anyone need some radishes. We have TONS in the garden.

We are weeding out some of the carrots so that the ones in the ground can grow bigger, but we were still pretty impressed with these ones.

We’ve been eating lettuce and chard for weeks now. So yummy!

And last but not least. Do you remember the mystery tree we had?

Well come to find out they were indeed peaches. They are small but oh so good.

  3. Oh MAN! I'll try not to be jealous. There is nothing better than fresh vegies from the garden.

    Our garden has yet to be turned over this year. It's so dolgone wet I'm not sure when we'll be able to do it. I think we're growing a rain forest up here in the midwest!

    Enjoy those salads! Yum!

  4. Looks wonderful - we haven't even begun to work up the ground here in MN yet (we still have snow piles!). I can feel the Spring fever running through my veins - don't think I can wait much longer.

  6. I am beyond jealous at all of the produce you already have and a peach tree on top of it all. No really, I am thrilled for you and so excited. Also, please share what kind of vacuum sealer you have and if you like it because I am on the lookout for one if it is worth it.

I am ITCHING to do a garden and maybe we just need to bite the bullet and do it..
