Hurray for summer! My garden is starting to get into the swing of things. I have been picking beans for a while now as well as most of my corn, but the rest of the garden is starting to pick up. I don't have a large garden by any means, but I'm happy with what I got today! The carrots are...

These were planted around March I believe (I really need to keep a log of when I plant things... :/ ). The seeds were purchased from Armstrong garden center last year. The box and soil they are in was just put in this year and hasn't had any weeds come up, so I doubt it's from something that...

I just came across this thread and I have to say I LOVE this idea. I may steal it and do the same thing myself...

Hmm, interesting. It's not even the only one that has flowered. In the first picture you can see another one spiky looking flower down and to the right of the first that is from another one of my carrots.

I planted mine in late Feb. I do see the tops of a few of them starting to yellow... maybe it won't be too long now.

I almost did the same thing. I have some buttercup squash that I pulled out before realizing it was the wrong thing.

I have some garlic planted and I have no idea how long it takes until harvest. I know I need to wait until the tops die off, but how long does that usually take?

We had pizza again tonight. The kids and husband were pretty boring, just pepperoni and spinach. I had spinach, corn, onion, cilantro, and chicken on mine. Earlier today I had salsa I made last night. I was very proud that all the ingredients for the salsa came from my own yard. It is rare...
