Garden Update

Not too long ago our garden looked like this.

Now our garden looks like this.

I was so excited when our corn got taller than Anna.

Well, now it is taller than Devin.

Our planter box has come a long way too.  Several weeks ago they looked like this.

Now our pumpkins are going nuts!

There are quite a few pumpkins growing.  Some in a more normal growing pumpkin spot.

 Others are a bit more daring and are growing out of the box and hanging in the air.  We will see how strong the vines are.

We picked our first two tomatoes this last week and they were perfect.  We have also picked quite a few cucumbers.  They are great to eat for snacks and with meals.  I decided to be brave and try making pickles.  With the help of Devin, my late night canning buddy, we were able to can 12 pints of pickles. Too bad we have to wait for 4 to 6 weeks to find out if they taste good.

Anna was a great helper too.  She helped me wash off the jars, dry them, and then put the rings back on the jars after I labeled them.

Beans are ready for the picking, corn is about there, tomatoes...when they come I have a feeling it will be a quite the experience taking care of them.  I can't wait!!! I love this time of year.  I love my bit of earth.
