Week twenty six in the garden

It is officially Fall and now that the cooler weather is almost upon us it is time to start wrapping up our summer crops. Herbs like thyme on the other hand can grow all year round.

The San Marzano's we waited all year for turned out a bit smaller than we expected but beggars aren't choosers.

We could live on this plant alone. Kale is the hardiest thing we have ever grown besides weeds.

As you can tell the bell peppers are done just in the nick of time because the bugs are attacking.

Come on little cantaloupes, get sweet as fast as you can.

Mommy went out to take some photos but also ended up picking some cherry tomatoes while she was out there.

Thank you all for following our humble blog about our little family and all of our adventures. We hope you all enjoy our stories because we do it for you and your friendships mean the world to us.

Week twenty four in the garden

We are still waiting for some bell peppers. I hope bugs don't eat peppers too! Oh the pain of being an organic farmer. We could kill those bugs with pesticide but we would rather not eat poison in our food.

I hope the cantaloupes ripen soon cause summer is over and I think they like full sun.

There is never a shortage of cherry tomatoes at our house. They have easily been our biggest producer along with the kale. We could live of those two alone.
We had a little rain today and the swiss chard was still wet when we took our photos.

Our romaine is getting very tall. Daddy keeps cutting it down but it just won't stop shooting upward.

San Marzano, what can I say. I hope I get to know you better next year.

Sierra's Scoop

Teddy Bear is pretty amazing. He can eat all kinds of fruit without making a funny face. Apples, oranges, blueberries, bananas, even kiwi and pineapple. But not me. The only time I eat fruit is when I am really hungry. Today I was proud to try our own homegrown heirloom cantaloupe. The smell was wonderful and I could hardly wait.

But as you can see, one bite was enough. I think I'm gonna let my pawrents and Teddy enjoy the rest of this one. Yuck.
