Our First Harvest!

We yielded our first harvest over the weekend. We had two strawberries ready for picking. Jackson and Jordan were so excited. Here they are pre-picking.


Here's Jordan picking her strawberry.

Here's Jackson picking his.

He was so proud of it.
And it was delicious!

We have another strawberry turning red. And the beans and squash are really starting to bloom. And maybe, just maybe I'll have fresh tomatoes for my salad in a month or so.

Gardening in the 'Burbs

When I was growing up, every summer was filled with fresh vegetables from the garden. So now, Kenny and I are trying our hand at a garden...again. We've had gardens the last few years, but the birds and critters have gotten to our veggies. This year, we're attempting it again, with Jackson's help. We have to go check the garden everyday when we get home.

Here's Jack getting ready to plant the tomato plants.

We've already got strawberries that are starting to ripen. We also have tomatoes, banana peppers, cilantro, green beans, squash, cucumbers and okra. All in our little corner of the suburbs. :) Jackson could care less if he eats anything from the garden. But he LOVES playing in the dirt. He's so excited to see the progress every single day. And watching his excitement makes it all worth it. Hopefully the critters stay away this year. xfingers crossedx
