Home Grown
Always Tastes Better

Iree picking peas... not many make it home.

Because we don't have much spare yard space for a garden we have a spot at the community gardens. It is very close to our house and has been a fun activity for me and the kids. For a while I thought my first attempt was going to fail but after some advice and miracle grow from my dad... everything is thriving.



This is our first tomato... I can't wait
for Mason and Iree to devour it... they are
both tomato maniacs!


Here it is... I know it is small but I don't think I could manage much more right now. We have peas, yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, yellow onions, red onions, cilantro, jalapeƱo peppers, red peppers , green peppers and corn. I just discovered that my corn wont work with one row because it has to cross pollinate so I guess it is just for looks.

Wow, you inspired us!! We picked up some seeds at Home Depot today and are going to get busy planting tomorrow. Really late in the season, but maybe they will work!

You know, I am totally jealous of your garden. Mine is growing but slowly. I have 2 teeny weeny tomatoes growing, slowly, but growing. I can't wait to eat them. I have never had a garden before and it is fun to see what happens. My kids beg me everyday to water it. Sorry about your corn, it looks good though!

This reminds me of when I was a kid and how nothing would make it home when I went picking. I am so jealous of your garden. You have done an excellent job with it.

yumm.
