The Garden

The garden has really taken off this month!  I finally got a net up for the snow peas:

Here is what the rest of the garden looks like:

We harvested a few carrots, the radishes are all gone now.  The Swiss chard is still growing strong - and I need to find people to help us eat it (I'm learning what we eat up and what we won't).
We can have a salad pretty much every day with our lettuce :)
We have green onions and beets that are ready.
The cherry tomatoes are growing like crazy - but they are still green.  The larger tomatoes are also getting bigger.
The squash and zucchini plants are taking over now! We will have PLENTY of zucchini to share in a few weeks.  This first year we are definitely learning how much we can eat and what to (or not to) and how much to plant next year! :)
You can't really see the corn in the shade, but they are getting taller.  The bush beans don't seem to be growing so much - we'll keep watching them.

Here's our harvest on Saturday:
Peas, a beet, some carrots, lettuce green onions and swiss chard. YUM :)
