The hard work is starting to pay off! I am starting to reap the rewards of my garden! This week the peas came on. ( My favorite veggie straight from the garden!) I have such fond memories as a child sitting in the middle of the garden eating all the peas. I am sure my mom never had enough to can or freeze because my siblings and I ate them all before they even made it to the house :-) I took these pictures a few days ago. and only a handful of peas were ready, but there are a lot more now :-)
My lettuce and spinach are ready also, but I just picked some of the spinach this day. Notice the eggs in the upper left hand corner? I gathered them at the same time. Fresh peas, fresh spinach, fresh eggs, what a life!
My corn, beans and squash are coming along nicely too! Like I said before I took these pic a few days ago so my corn is much bigger now. Remember I am going to use my corn stalks as bean poles that is why I have the corn and beans next to each other :-)
and in the mounds in between the corn and the beans I am growing squash, pumpkins and melons.
These are just babies right now, but hopefully by October we will have some cute pumpkins to carve!
