The garden is doing amazingly well.  Each day we have several squash, tomatoes, green beans and peppers to pick.  We are quickly filling up all the space in our fridge, so this weekend I am going to be doing lots of freezing of the veggies.  It so fun once the veggies start coming in.  All of DT’s  hard work is really starting to show.

Summer garden week 9

9 weeks

Once the tomatoes start to turn slightly yellow we pick them.  If we let them ripen on the vine they will for sure go to the birds.  So we just pick them and let them ripen on our windowsill

  1. How delightful. Your garden is way ahead of ours but we are beginning to get a few items, onions, radishes, spinach, strawberries.

  2. What a garden. It must be nice to be in an area to be able to grow stuff so early. We can’t even plant until Memorial Day here. Have a good weekend. Cindy D

  3. It looks SO healthy and lively!!! My garden looks seriously emaciated compared to yours! I e-mailed you some pics…try your best to hold back your laughter…LOL!

  4. What zone are you in? I’ve been reading your garden posts for 3 weeks now and I am amazed!

  5. That has “salad” written all over it. And “salsa” and “marinara sauce,” and lots of other tasty words. Beautiful. I can only imagine a garden like that our here in the desert. 🙁

  6. Beautiful garden! In my neck of the woods, we are just starting to transplant the seedlings from the greenhouse to the outdoors. I love looking at your pictures and imagine my garden that way in a few short weeks.

  7. What a beautiful garden!
    And I’m j ust starting on mine…I can’t imagine having a lush garden like that already. You must live somewhere it’s really warm.

  8. Wow what amazing fresh produce right smack dab in your back yard – It doesn’t get better than that!

    The little girl inside of me has dreams of a garden one day and your lovely patch with all the hard work that’s put into it makes me swoon. Thank you for sharing your passion with us as it stamped a happy spot in my heart.

    Blessings – Debbie

  9. Wow, what an awesome garden! Did you use seeds? We are attempting our first garden this year, but it is only 4 x 4 feet and 12 containers. LOL I hope we can work our way up to something like you have got.

  10. Up here in the Arctic tundra of Northern IN things aren’t quite so prolific yet – This fills me with hope!

  11. Your garden looks fantastic! Thanks for stopping by my blog and seeing our “No-Till” experiment! I hope we have half as good a crop as you.
