THE Vegetable Garden... yummy.

Well, I must say, I could post much more fabulous photos of my fabulous garden, but then that might be a little on the bragging side! :) And really, it's only so great because Brian built me some killer boxes and let me put some good organic soil in it.... and we had a crew come in and do the rockish stuff around the boxes so I don't have to get my shoes all dirty and muddy working in the area.... soooo.... I have 3 boxes and am growing cucumbers, tomatos, bell peppers, jalepeno peppers, zuchinni, squash, strawberries, and watermelon... serveral varieties tomatos and peppers and cucumbers... If you notice there's netting over the back boxes due to a tiny pest problem we had (read: I hate birds.)... I even gave B free reign to go get a bb gun and take 'em out! shhh... don't tell ;) Our batch of watermelon should be ready in about a week or two... and we have more tomatos than we know what to do with... I think Emily might run a little vegetable stand one weekend! The pictures below are from about 2-3 weeks ago so it has all grown in again and needs some maintenance to look all pretty again, but mostly still looks like this.

WOW! That is a beautiful garden-how fun. Just love tomatoes - has mom talked you into canning yet? Oh and YEAH - I see your pregnant belly.

Awesome veggie garden! Grant & Helen did tomatoes (and have way more than they need, as well)!

THE vegetable garden is so pretty... and probably yummy!

Finally! Hehehe. It looks FANTASTIC, next year I am taking notes from you and doing everything you do. I don't know why mine is so weak and pathetic and yours is so pretty. Probably because I never water mine...I have ONE cucumber growing right now. Wohoo!

Go on, brag! I am enjoying the fruits (or vegetables rather) of your labor. I see some tasty little tomatoes right here that I'll gobble down for dinner.

your cucumbers and tomatoes were good... ate them for dinner a few different nights while I was in town!

I was showing off the pictures of your veggie garden to Serg and now he is motivated to start one of his own. It looks amazing. You did a wonderful job and look at the amazing veggies you are getting out of it. We are jealous :)
