Here are some of our lovely carrots--not quite ready--you have to wait until you can see the tops coming out--but, oh so sweet when they come!
I just had to share some pics of our garden this year because it is doing so well. I am truly in love with my garden--she is so good to me and and is giving our family so much! All of the plants are blooming and producing so nicely, and it is so fun to go out in the mornings and see what is new.
Sweet onions-should be ready to have some in a few weeks--not exactly sure how to tell because we've never done onions before.
Here's an view of the plot. We have onions, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, squash, broccoli, and peas. I know that raised gardens are all the rage now, but we just like to see stuff come right up out of the ground. Of course, with all that other stuff comes grass and weeds, but I am a weirdo--I really enjoy going out and howing (sp?), weeding and getting in with my plants. We have a very lovely time together.
This morning Jack brought me in a pea to sample--yummy! And look--our green tomatoes are finally starting to get ripe--looks like I'll be canning lots of tomatoes because we are not really raw tomato fans. These plants have gone CRAZY!
Oh, how I love our garden...it is so fun to see things come from out of the ground, and to help them along their little journey...and then to eat them all up..... and then to plow them down when we are done so we can grow more....well, maybe that isn't very nice after all, but I still LOVE my garden. Thanks for patronizing me by taking some time to look at our lovely plants!

oh my silly SIL that loves to plant and plow you are a great example to me!! I can't wait to have a garden as beautiful as yours if that is even possible!!! and BTW she really does love her garden if you couldn't tell from her post, whenever i go over to her house i almost always find her in it!! and its super fun to try and scare her!!
i actually love pulling weeds.. i do it in the yard all the time! but the grass in the garden is NOT fun to me.. and hard to deal with.
and your garden looks WAAAYYY better than ours.. i'm jealous!
Looks great. How cool your garden has done so well. AWESOME.
Wow Carolyn! What a great garden! Wish I could come over and sample your veggies!
I think I'm going to be in love with my garden (when we get it going) just as much as you. It's all that time and care you put into it. And it IS super exciting to see what things appear each day and then you get to eat it! I can't wait! Thanks for sharing pics!
