Our first Harvest!
Here are some pictures from our very first garden. We thought that it would be something fun for us and the boys to do. We actually started everything from seed except the tomato's. We all had so much fun this summer taking care of the garden. Every night the boys would go out there with Eric to water it and to look for new growth. It was truly amazing what we got just from seed. We planted corn, okra, watermelon, pumpkin, carrots, green beans, squash, cucumber, bell peppers, and tomatoes. We had no clue what we were doing actually and let the boys pick out what they wanted to. We might have our own pumpkin patch this year because our pumpkins are really taking off. The corn is doing awesome to and we will be able to harvest our corn probably sometime this week. We have learned so much this year and now we know some things that we will do differently next year so that we can have a bigger and better garden! We are actually eating our cucumber tonight for dinner in a salad, and I am making my squash tomorrow night. I will let you know how it turns out!
