We're Producing!!

One of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh produce! I was a little hesitant and skeptical 4 years ago when Chad encouraged me to start a garden. His parents have a fabulous garden and we got our produce from them. But we were up for the challenge and thought it would be fun to have a few things of our own and see what we could do. This afternoon, the children helped me hunt for cucumbers and tomatoes in our jungle!! They were great helpers.

Well, actually Emily turned out to be the photographer instead of a harvester, when she wasn't busy taking excellent care of her baby!

Here's our jungle of tomatoes and cucumbers. We have 5 tomato plants, 6 cucumber plants, 2 green peppers, cilantro and a strawberry patch.

Chase found a cucumber!!

And I did too!!

Here's our "done-for-this-year" strawberry patch that Emily said we needed a picture of!

The best part is the end result.....fresh produce! We are feasting on cucumbers, green peppers and tomatoes!

Hope you've gotten to enjoy fresh garden items from someone too!
