Garden Bounty

As always, Farmer Jim is working hard this year to tend to our veggie gardens. He reports that the rows of corn in the lower garden (the far back yard) are coming along nicely and several large watermelons are growing down there. Meanwhile, the upper garden (in the side yard near the house) is already yielding fresh veggies every day. Here is this morning’s bounty picked by Farmer Jim: tomatoes, peppers, okra, summer squash (including a weird co-joined one!), and cucumbers.

Summertime eating, mm-mmm, good!

  7. LOL, that basket is several years old and getting weathered, Karen! I think we got it at a farmer's market one year, filled with peaches. It sure comes in handy! We also have some plastic trugs that we ordered from a garden supply house. Your degergent bucket is a great recycling idea!

  10. Hi, Joan! Growing veggies takes some work and know-how. Farmer Jim has been doing gardening long enough that he knows what to do and which veggies to leave to the professionals, LOL.
