Our garden is going CRAZY. It's the only way to put it. I feared the tomatoes would out-grow their cages (4' high) and they have just popped over this week. We have two large pepper and a billion more on the way. We had our first mini harvest last week. If you cant tell from the photo, Landon was chomping at the bit to eat those strawberries :) That night we had a salad made fully from the garden except the onion, fresh Tuna steaks loaded with herbs and a strawberry/basil gin and tonic. It was delicious and well worth the efforts of gardening.
The photo below is about a week old. The peas have climbed all the way to the top of the wall by now- it's impossible to keep up photo wise. We had a bad case of the caterpillars eating at our bruccel sprouts and cauliflower. I got some anti-pest spray for the garden but didn't realize that you have to turn the bottle "on" for the liquid to mix with the hose. So..we might be down a couple cauliflower in the end. And of course, since Landon or Bentley cant reach the inside of the garden, it becomes a dumping ground for all sorts of things. It currently holds a screw driver, a "planes" ball, Bentley's tennis ball, many driveway rocks and a meter stick.
Below are just photos that I cant help myself to take. Love seeing the plants actual produce edible items :)
