Garden Time!!!

Now that we are in the states Rob and I wanted to have a garden.  Rob's Dad Rich plowed an area of the land for us and allowed us to have as big a garden we wanted.  I have really enjoyed being out in the garden and working it and watching all our veggies grow.  It will be something I think we will do every summer.  I will probably take a lot of the veggies and freeze them for the winter.  I did that last year with the tomatoes Rich had planted and we enjoyed them all winter.

So let me explain the picture because it could appear that I have a HUGE garden.  Behind me in the large field are beans growing  Rich allows a farmer to use the land for his crops and they get a cut of the profit.  Our garden starts with the two rows of beans at the bottom left of the picture.  The very large plants are zucchini and yellow squash.  We had  no idea how many veggies would come from just one plant so we planted all the seeds we had - so now it looks like we will have tons to give away or sell.  We also have about 12 tomato plants so again - we will give some away or sell.  Rich planted a bunch of corn this year so he is thinking he will have a small farmers market at the end of their driveway and we will more than likely contribute to it.  We also have cucumbers, onions, lettuce, peppers (hot and sweet), pumpkins, beans, basil, cilantro, cantaloupe, watermelon and a few flowers.
