Week twenty two in the garden

Our zucchini plant is doing great this year. We're thrilled since we didn't have success with them last year.

Does anyone know what this flower is called? Our friend gave us bunches of them to plant. They sure are pretty.

Boy do oranges grow fast!

Flowers on potato plants indicate healthy growth underground. We are thinking that there may be a few potatoes that are ready for harvest.

Week eleven in the garden

The broccoli leaves look amazing and huge. We hope the broccoli crown will show up before the weather gets too hot.

As always, the kale outshines everything else in our garden.

Can you believe this is the flower that's on top of our green onions right now? Mommy thinks it is very pretty.

Our tomatoes were a major fail last year. (This was common with a lot of backyard farmers we know). But this year they look well on their way to producing lots and lots of fruit.

We are thrilled to be seeing tons of strawberries. We can already taste them.

The chives had a rough start last year. We've heard people say that everything does better the second year. We're so glad the chives stuck it out. Mommy loves cooking with chives...creme fraiche quiche, herbed eggs, mashed sweet potatoes, roasted veggies...the possibilities are endless.
