Garden Update

Our garden has been doing a lot better than I expected. The fruits and vegetables are starting to come in and some of the plants are thriving! This post actually shows the garden at two different times. The first few pictures are from the end of June. You can see the pepper plants, the strawberry plants and the cantaloupe plants.When you get down and look close you can see the harvest coming in: tomato's... corn...
zucchini...
cucumber...
and peppers!
The bounty from this visit: 5 cucumbers (1 bad), 2 zucchinis, 2 green beans and a pepper.
13 days later, the cantaloupe have spread!
And when you get deep down in there...we have cantaloupe growing!
The tomatoes are getting red.
More cucumbers.
and more zucchinis
More peppers.Zucchinis are an interesting vegetable...the grow out from the flowers and sometimes the flowers don't always drop or die off.
Pretty peppers.

Thomas has really been enjoying the garden and I think we have learned a lot about planting and gardening. Next year we hope to have a bigger one and we are looking forward to it.
