Garden Update

HOORAY! Our first harvest from our own vegetable patch! We have three varieties of tomato growing, two types of bean, carrots, Swiss chard, kabocha squash, cucumber, courgette (zucchini) and red bell pepper. The tomatoes and kabocha are growing like crazy, while the others are lagging a little. Every day we inspect the plants, and the first cherry tomato was an exciting event! We also have a little raspberry bush (thank you Forest). It looks somewhat puny, but we have had a few fruits from it and they were oh so sweet. Mmmmhhh...

Hello Helen! Fresh veggies are the best especially home grown. How have you been? We are doing great!
