Getting Big

Everything in the garden is getting big, including the weeds so it received a good weeding yesterday. We got the beets thinned out as well. It is looking really good. The corn is as tall as Gabe, a little taller actually. We even have had a few peas ready but most of them will be ready soon.

The pumpkins are getting big and have flowers on them.
There are little tiny tomatoes and a few are even starting to turn orange and there are little beans on our bean plants, it is so exciting to watch everything grow so quickly. Now if we can keep our boys out of the garden and from stepping on plants we will be doing well:)

First Fruits(well vegetables)

The first veggies in the garden were picked last night. These lovely, delicious kohlrabi were the first things ready and sadly I am really the only one who is excited about it:) More for me I guess. Everything is looking good, we have little green tiny tomatoes on our tomato plants, the peas and potatoes have little blooms, the beans, onions, carrots, beets, corn, sunflowers, melons, and pumpkins are all growing well, now if the darn weeds would just stay away!

Weeding

The garden is going strong and so are the weeds.

Last night we got out in the garden for the second weeding of the summer. The first weeding was pretty light and consisted of hoeing and running a cultivator through the corn rows. This time, it got personal. We got down on hands and knees and started pulling. A few before and after shots of the evening.

There are carrots and onions and beets in there somewhere

Oh, there they are.



Alan hit the potatoes and green beans.





I hit the corn a second time and also got all the pesky stuff coming up in the rows.
