2012 Garden: Week 6

It has been 6 weeks since we planted our 2012 Garden & we are already seeing fruits of our labor after just 6 weeks!
Here is what the garden looks like as of yesterday:

Here it was 6 weeks ago!

I can't believe how much it has grown!
Here is box #1:

The bare area is where I planted green onion seeds & carrot seeds and they are very slowly sprouting. In this box, I have my herbs that I have been able to use already....dill, basil, oregano & parsley.

And, check out my lettuce!!! So fun!

I have one little pepper that is growing:

And, a cucumber:

And, the beginning of a watermelon:
Box #2 at 6 weeks:

Highlights include, this pumpkin:

Yellow Squash are starting to bud:

And, zucchini!
I was able to harvest 4 zucchini yesterday.
Kate requested that we make zucchini bread this week!

Our tomatoes (Box #3) have also started to go crazy!

My sun gold's are already starting to turn orange. So excited!

Over the weekend, I harvested some of the lettuce since it is growing out of control:

We used it on BBQ Chicken sandwiches & Cheeseburgers:

It was 95 yesterday, so I decided to make one of my summer staples with our home grown lettuce...Taco Salad.

Kevin & I were able to enjoy dinner outside by the pool after the girls were in bed.

(I pretended my Pelligrino was wine. Sigh)
Last night was a taste of what is to come this summer.
Eating outside with meals made from our garden & enjoying the warm weather.
Only 4 days until I am officially on Summer Break. I can't WAIT!!!
