Our gardening this year has been a lot of fun, and a lot of work. We decided to get a plot at the community gardens. I know, it doesn't look like much. Weed control there has been tough. But we have had a TON of beans and peas and green stuff. Our tomatoes are finally starting to ripen, and we have a few squash growing. We will also soon have tons of tomatillos and peppers.
Our corn is pretty funny. It's the first time we've grown corn, and apparently we didn't prep the soil enough. Our plants are about 3 feet high, and the fully ripe cobs are about 4 inches long. Looks like we've invented a mini-corn. Perfect size for little fingers! We also grew a giant beet. I took a picture of Sissy holding it, but somehow the picture didn't save, and we've eaten it already. It was softball size, and pink and white on the inside. Yum.
I think we have eaten more dinners of just pure fresh vegetables this summer than we ever have before. So good and so healthy! If we're around this area next year, our garden will be even better because we'll know what the plot needs.
