Harvesting.

Our garden started out like this 10 weeks ago:

And, look at it now:

Box #1

Close up of a cucumber:
And, a pumpkin! Eeek! So excited!
Box #2
(zucchini, peppers, squash & 2 cherry tomato plants & 2 yellow pear tomato plants)

Check out the zucchini:

And squash:

Cherry Tomatoes...growing like crazy:
.....turn red already! :)

My peppers have not done well at all:
All 5 pepper plants (red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, pepperochinni, anaheim pepper) are not producing & look wilted. Any expert pepper growers out have any advice?

Box #3
(5 Early Girl Tomato Plants)

Lots of green tomatoes so far:

Yesterday, Kate spotted 2 red Early Girl Tomatoes!
But, I am waiting until they are a little deeper red before I pick them...maybe later this week!
We have been harvesting since last week, this was my biggest stash:

Zucchini, squash, green onions, celery & 1 strawberry.

I can't tell you how fun it is to see the garden transform & actually produce veggies!
This is my first time growing a garden and I have no idea what I am doing, but it sure is fun!
It was the best feeling walking back there & pulling up green onions & celery from the garden & using them in a salad for our dinner!
I felt like a Woman of the Land....it was so empowering. ha!

Now, I will just impatiently wait for all my tomatoes to turn red.
The whole reason I wanted a garden was so I could have homegrown tomatoes.
There is nothing better than tomatoes straight from the garden.
Hoping they turn red quickly!
