Gardens are fascinating things. They are so much work and maintenance, but the satisfaction of growing your own food is unbeatable.
You know you've become a boring adult when you have more photos of your garden than anything else on your phone except kids.
We expanded the garden this year by about 8 feet to accommodate the bag of potatoes that had some seriously long eyes. I've never tried planting potatoes before. Unfortunately, many of them got chomped pretty good by deer when they were flowering...so we will see if they produce or not.
Planting our yearly batch of sunflowers. About half of them also got chomped.
We did black plastic this year for the zucchini and squash, cantalope and watermelon, and the cucumbers, basil, thyme, and parsley.
Beans and Peas. Obviously, these are old photos.
There are few things more beautiful than new life springing up.
Our first potato plant.
Since these photos were taken, I have picked and canned quite a few beans, froze a bunch of peas, and dried lots of basil. We just started picking cucumbers and we ate two for lunch. As per our normal summers, we are overrun with zucchini, so we give a bunch away to anyone who will take it at church each week. haha.
I love gardening!!!!
