We're like professionals...

Really! All of these hot, sunny days have paid off and our little garden is flourishing. Aren't we a cute little aspiring hippie couple? It's cool to see our food grow from the tiniest little seed into a huge green plant, and then be able pick the fruits and vegetables from that plant and have homegrown lettuce, peas, and radishes on our dinner table. Here's a little slideshow of the fun...

Lettuce, carefully planted from seed in little pots in the house, cared for diligently by Isaac, and then delicately transplanted into our garden when they were a couple weeks old, hoping the shock from the transplant wouldn't kill them. Good job, Isaac...






...Peas, with a Morgan and a Tommy behind them.






Tomatoes, but they're still green. We have eleven tomato plants with everything from cherry to beefsteak tomatoes and amazingly enough, they're all looking like they're going to produce a nice harvest. We've gotten to eat a couple of the cherry tomatoes and they are better than any tomatoes I've ever had! Isaac's been saying that would be the case all along, but (as usual) I had to see for myself, and (as usual) it turns out that he was right...

...Here's a view of a bunch of things. Potatoes in the very front, Walla Walla sweet onions poking up directly behind, strawberries in the middle row with a rosemary bush on the very left, and the lettuce in the back. Like the tomatoes, the strawberries we've grown taste better than any strawberry I've tasted before. No surprise there.



And last, but not least, the cucumbers. We had to thin them out, which was slightly painful because we'd worked so hard to make sure they all grew (having had to replant them three times), but Isaac did the dirty work while I harvested a bowlful of snap peas so I didn't have to watch. He's definitley the man in this relationship...


There it is, friends. Our little garden. Someday, we'll have a few acres of land with a ridiculously huge garden and an orchard with every kind of fruit tree and berry bush imaginable and we'll look back on this little garden affectionately as the start of one of our dreams. Someday.
