Bountiful Garden

These past two weekends I have spent my mornings weeding the garden.  I think this year I have spend more time in the garden than all years combined!!!  The weather has been unusually comfortable (other than the bugs of course).  Just one more row to weed and it will be done, except for of course the regular upkeep.  We have just been so crazy busy hectic to keep up with it that the weeds got way out of control.

This has been our most successful garden too.  We enjoyed the early asparagus, lettuces, herbs (the thyme is out of control).  Right now it is zucchini, cucumbers, cabbage, napa cabbage, kale, yellow squash and kohlrabi.  The tomatoes are crazy big and growing, not ripe yet.  We have our own pumpkin patch with baby white and orange pumpkins, gourds, big pumpkins, baking pumpkins....  Hopefully they stay good until the fall!

The peanuts did not take, nor did the peppers.  Carrots are questionable.
