Garden Update

Our garden is doing amazingly well.  We harvested for the first time today and got arugula, jalapenos, scallions, and radishes.  Everything we planted is growing and blooming and we are getting prepared for lots of veggies soon.  We are learning a lot along the way and Diana and I are already planning for two gardens next year.  Here is a picture I took in May....
This is what our garden looks like today (before weeding )

cabbage

radishes and basil

sunflowers and scallions

cucumbers
 Harvesting was so much fun!

 The kids played and were really good while we weeded and harvested


actually playing together

my heart swells at this picture

Rilyn ate some dirt from Joaquin's pole.  Nothing like dirt for a first food right?

checking out the garden
I was so excited to have a garden for the organic veggies we would be getting, but honestly the friendship and time spent with the kiddos is well worth it.  I feel like the veggies are just icing on the cake.

I hope Tyler is ready for a salad tomorrow!

  1. Amazing vegetables! Can we visit the garden someday?

    Loving Joaquin's face in the picture where Rilyn is eating the dirt. Haha! He looks so stern! What a cute little group of babies to hang out with all day!
