Our first garden

                                                              The first crop of our tomatoes

                                         My first time canning. Beets, pickles, and green beans.

                                                           The sunset from our porch.

                           Our not yet ripe watermelons. We have loads so if anyone wants some. let us know!

                                                  Cantaloupes which are almost ready

                             Our beets, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, cucumber, and cantaloupe plants.

                                   Our corn, we have already eaten a few ears. It is delicious!

                                                   Our home, hanging baskets and zenias.

I'm excited to say our first garden was a triumph! It has been a full time job between finding, picking, washing, preparing, and finally bottling or eating. It has been fun though. I love being here and being able to have a garden. The sunsets are the most beautiful and the kids love running around free. I feel so blessed with everything. I am so grateful to live here and have such a great husband who put the water system in for the garden and prepared everything so it turned out so amazing! Now if we can remember next year what we did for this year we will be ok. This gardening thing actually works. Weird...
