THE HARVEST IS STARTING...

I LOVE PEA POD FLOWERS... THEY ARE SO PRETTY UP CLOSE...

YAY... GREEN BEANS... THE KIDS LOVE TO EAT THEM RAW FRESH OUT OF THE GARDEN.
MY PEPPERS NEVER SEEM TO DO WELL... I AM HOPING THIS YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT:)



THIS IS SO PAR FOR THE COURSE FOR OUR GARDENS... I HAD THROWN LAST YEARS PUMPKINS OUT BACK AND THIS IS WHAT WE ENDED UP WITH... A WHOLE SLEW OF PUMPKINS READY FOR CARVING IN JUNE... IT JUST MAKES ME LAUGH:)



YUMMY... BLACK BERRIES AND RED RASPBERRIES ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TREAT... I THINK IT STEMS FROM THE RED RASPBERRY CUSTARD SUNDAES I USED TO GET AS A KID FROM GILLES CUSTARD STAND IN MILWAUKEE... OUR RED RASPBERRIES ARE ALREADY DONE... WE HAVE A BUMPER CROP OF BLACK BERRIES AND THE BLUEBERRIES... WELL, I THINK WE WILL EACH GET ABOUT 3:)
I WILL POST MORE GARDEN PICTURES AS WE GET TO PICKIN' MORE:)
I LOVE HOW GARDENING GIVES US ALL A CHANCE TO SEE THE MIRACLE OF HOW GOD MAKES THINGS GROW INTO SOMETHING AMAZING ALL FROM THIS TINY LITTLE SEED... GOD'S HANDIWORK THAT IS FOR SURE... IT IS JUST AWESOME... NOT TO MENTION IT CUTS DOWN ON THE GROCERY BILL:)

It all looks beautiful! And I'm sure it will taste delicious, too! And just for the record, I would be picking the raspberries off the vine and eating them right away...love them!

Thanks for the email. Praying!

Love,
Tonya

Yum it all looks delicious. Our garden sounds like what you explained yours looked like last year...I'm learning. I was thinking that I'm going to go for more herbs - especially after I read most herbs are WEEDS! Perfect!

Love you friend, Becky

Are garden is doing surprisingly better this year too! Must just be a good gardening year. We just picked are first pepper yesterday! It was a very hot one! Our blackberries are doing fine, we have very little ones so there only about half the siz of yours! We planted everything late so we don't have any squash of pupkins yet, but lots of flowers!
