Our little garden

I am just going to just going to jump back into blogging.... after another 2 years of silence! ha! 

I am thrilled with my gardens this year. I have 3 raised beds and another huge garden. It keeps me pretty busy, but I am just thankful my body can handle the hard work. And it's nice when the kids come out to help me!

Here are a few pics from a few weeks ago:



The "big" garden


Bush beans with cucumbers on the end (we have since put up a trellis)

Zucchini, sqush, strawberries and lots of different herbs) There is garlic and chives growning in the blue bucket and Rosemary in the silver bucket

Lots of different tomatoes, peppers, and more herbs in this container

I took this picture a few days ago. Shelby is weeding all my squash plants while Micah is working on the okra. Tyler was out there too but I couldn't get him in the picture. He was working on the pepper plants. I built those trellisis all by myself! I just hope they don't fall over when the cucumbers start growing on them! :)




I hope you have enjoyed seeing a little bit of our homestead. I hope I can be a little more consistant in posting more often.
