Images of Our Garden

This summer has been one of many first for me. It all began with this garden. These pictures were taken about a month ago so the garden has changed significantly. The tomatoes that are green above are now not only red but burgandy, orange and yellow variations (we grew fancy heirloom tomatoes by Spencer's request). They are delicious. It seems that everything we have grown has turned out to be amazing. Much of the credit goes to Brother Mitchell who is the expert and the one who waters every day! Though it has been A LOT of work hauling a 2 year old over there every time it has been worth it. I think the best part is how excited Spencer gets when he whips up these fancy meals. This is where the work pays off. His excitement for food makes it so fun. His favorite is when 90% of the meal all came out of the garden. I will write another posts especially for the other firsts I mentioned. As for now hopefully these images make you want to grow a garden! 

Maren has her name carved in one of her pumpkins for Halloween already. The pumpkin creates this scar that makes her name stick out.

Recently had Danish red cabbage for dinner.

A friend told me these were the best English cucumbers she had ever eaten. It is so rewarding to share your produce with others. It just makes you feel good inside.

We heard that melons don't grow great here but we wanted to give it a try anyway. We grew small watermelons and cantaloupe. They both taste amazing. We were quite surprised.

Brother Mitchell really likes radishes.

Spencer's beloved fennel. I heard about this stuff all our dating and married life and now I am eating it about every other day!
