Garden Bounty

gardenveggies

Our garden is doing superb! The picture above is just a small bit of what we harvest everyday, and certainly only a sample of the amount of blackberries we get! (we have a LOT of blackberries) Sometimes Dad will be picking outside for hours, and return with a huge mixing bowl full of berries! We’ve begun freezing and canning – especially with our beans. We have so many beans (and starting to get that way with cucumbers and squash).

It’s so cool to prepare a meal with vegetables we grew from our own garden!

Anybody else do a garden this year?

P.S. [to give you an idea of how much veggies we get] Last week was the first time we had to buy lettuce from the grocery store in about two straight months! That’s saying a lot, because if you know our family, you know what ridiculous amounts of lettuce we go through! :-)

Here there be comments...

    Better hurry up, Esther! Our blackberries last a long time – through the middle of August – but not forever!

    Oh, we also have a garden, and it sure is sooo neat to eat your own veggies. We also go through a lot of lettuce, salad freaks we are.
    I always feel weird because when I visit other people, I usually end up finishing most of the salad. I guess it’s just the way you grow up. :)
    My mom planted a whole lot of different kinds of lettuces, so our salads look very colourful.
    Thanks for your blog comment. I don’t mind the length Kasie, I absolutely LOVE hearing from you. :D
