With help and advice from a couple local farmers, we tried our hand at gardening this summer. We planted raspberries and strawberries--for next year. We also planted tomatoes, peppers, green beans, cucumbers, and watermelon. We had a bumper crop of cucumbers and tomatoes. We had just enough green beans, watermelon, and peppers to eat as they ripened. Jonathan tried his hand at making pickles, and I've been making spaghetti and pizza sauce like crazy. Jonathan also makes fresh salsa every few days.
Picking the first green beans.
Almost all of our watermelon have been very sweet!
Just a small sampling of the tomatoes, on two different days.
