Bountiful Harvest

This year our garden was a terrific success! We grew and tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, carrots, eggplant, lots of varieties of bell and hot peppers, and a bunch of different herbs. We didn't get any good eggplant and we haven't harvested any carrots yet, but everything else was booming or is currently booming! We have had two major tomato harvests so far and I made one batch of sauce and one batch of salsa. I just stuck another 10 broccoli seedlings in the ground, so hopefully they'll turn into some delicious fall heads. Here's a little bit of our work.


Early April tilling


First planting in mid-April

We got about 15 good heads of lettuce in the early summer from this planting.



Watering the sprouts


Herbs and cucumber poles


Everything is starting to grow







Our helpful harvester just yanked a premature pepper of the plant behind him :)
