This morning when the kids and I went to water our garden we found a wonderful surprise! We got to harvest our first veggie, a nice big cucumber. As we looked around, we found many little cucumbers growing. Stella's looking forward to watering again tomorrow to see if any others are ready to be eaten. (The top left picture is what our garden looked like when it was first planted).
So far, we're having lots of luck growing our little garden. Last month, I dug out a little 4x4 plot, made the garden box and put a little fence around it to keep the critters from eating the plants. We chose to grow squash, cucumbers, hot peppers, red bell peppers, tomatoes and Japanese eggplants. We also have herbs growing in planters that are really thriving.
Hopefully we can find some recipes to make yummy pickles and other goodies. I'm also looking forward to 'farming' again in the fall, maybe even plant another plot.
