Our garden is doing awesome. We ate the first salad from our garden last night and it was so good. In the picture on the left you can see from front to back: spinach, swiss chard, lettuce, herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro), sweet basil, peppers, jalepeno peppers, peas. In the picture on the right from back to front: tomatoes and sunflowers on the right hand side, then broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts (if you think you hate them, you have never had them fresh--they are so good!), peas, carrots, strawberries (we got to eat 3 before the crows got to them), more tomatoes (romas, slicing, cherry), butternut squash, pumpkins, yellow summer squash, cantalope and the giant monstrosity there would be zukes. Oh, and a very sad, very tiny little eggplant next to the squashes. I've been told eggplant isn't very easy to grow around here, so I wasn't surprised when it didn't grow too well. Not bad for people who have no idea what they are doing, right? The only thing we don't have, but probably need to get in there right away is cukes. Elsie loves to help weed and plant. And a big secret is that kids love to eat veggies they helped grow.

No cukes? what kind of world are we living in where people who have a garden don't have cucumbers in it?
Man, that's all I'd grow. That and broccoli if it would grow. MMMMM delicious.
