This year we are trying raised-bed, square foot gardening. Well, it has been very successful in that our plants are growing CRAZY! We're getting a huge crop of green beans already and we just can't seem to contain the tomatoes either. A big windy thunderstorm almost knocked our 8 ft corn over, but we seem to have salvaged it okay. We're also growing carrots, peas, peppers, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkin, cucumbers, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and raspberries. We had lettuce, but it got "harvested" a bit to vigorously (Emily pulled it up by the roots rather than just the leaves---oops.) It's very exciting to see everything growing and to eat what we've grown!
These are from a couple of weeks ago when our first crop of green beans were ready. It was big-time fun.
There they are! Green Beans!
Yum! Right, Emily?? (They are delicious...if only the kiddos would enjoy eating them as much as picking! Maybe one day, right?)
