Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?
Last year when I posted about my garden, I never put pictures of the results. This year, I'm just posting results. Being my second year in gardening, I chose to plant some different things and not plant others. For instance, as much fun as it is to see your squash and zucchini plants keep producing, after a couple weeks of picking them, you either have gained too many pounds eating zucchini bread, or you feel like you're made of squash. Anyway, we didn't plant those this year. I'm very pleased with how the garden turned out this year. I'm still a novice and have a long way to go be as successful as my pro-gardener dad. I'm so thankful for my dad and mom who taught me hard work, how to weed, and the importance of food storage and home canning (and all of its deliciousness). Matt took these pictures for me yesterday.

Yum! Your garden looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am jealous of your garden. The food look great!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of your garden, too. My parents had some land and did a garden until my dad got too busy. Then I took over until I got married. I am determined to buy a house with at least a little bit of yard so that I can have a garden. That's so cool you've been so successful!
ReplyDeleteCan I be jealous too? I love gardening, but water costs so much more here in NC then it did in UT that it just isn't feasible or cost effective to be paying that much. So I have to rely on the rain, which isn't always reliable.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I had an awesome garden like this in Utah. It can be so relaxing, enjoyable, and rewarding.
I only wish I could get Rob to eat those delicious veggies. I've been able to sneak in tomatoes and peppers, but absolutely no beans or peas and only corn ONCE. He thinks the only vegetables worth eating voluntary are potatoes and spinach. What a weirdo!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks great! I can't believe you were able to grow corn on the cob successfully!
ReplyDeleteThe secret is to have at least two rows of corn so they can cross-pollinate.
