Our garden has been taking off. It has grown big and bushy over the last few months. For a little while, we only thought we were going to get basil, but now everything is starting to produce. We have gotten a few zucchini, some peas, some wax beans, some cherry tomatoes, and some broccoli (though not much). The early girl tomatoes are growing and we see at least 40 of them, but as of yet, they are all still green. The carrots are looking nice and green on top, but they aren’t quite ready to pull. The regular cucumbers just started to produce so we should have some of those soon. The lemon cucumbers haven’t produced yet, but they are flowering. All in all though, it is looking good. We know a good portion of why some of the items haven’t grown is because we have been having week long heat waves of upper 80’s to low 90’s. Once it starts to cool a little more, we might get some more stuff.
Edward’s new favorite thing to do is to water the garden. He is always trying to help in any way he can if he gets to hold the hose.
And he loves to eat the veggies straight from the garden. If we can’t see him, chances are he went down to the garden and got some tomatoes. Which is evidenced by his mouth full of tomatoes when he comes back.
He also loves to pick things from the garden. He helped Darrell pick the first batch of Basil.
