Where We Are Now

Just to update generally on how the gardening is going…we’ve had meals that consist almost entirely of food from our own yard which is awesome & hopefully will become easier to accomplish as we get better at this. The hardest part (for me) is finding/making time to cook the food that I have when it is so easy to just pick up whatever I’m in the mood for at the grocery. In any case, here are a few pictures that I just took today:

Pawpaws

Cucumbers
We have been eating these a lot: raw with white vinegar, dill & salt = yum)

Chickens
Only 3 – 4 weeks before they start laying!

 

Squash  
Including at least 1 giant 16-inch (& lots of smaller) zucchini:

Beans

Tomatoes 
(only 4 ripe so far)      

Asparagus
(looking pretty good now that the beetles are gone — I spent a couple hours squishing their nasty caterpillar larvae a few days ago, think the beetles die when their eggs hatch?)

 

**we also have peppers, eggplants, herbs, etc but I didn’t take pictures of everything.
