Gone Green

This year we decided to plant our first garden. It has all been experimental. I went to a couple classes in the ward from the seasoned gardeners and we were off and running. We planted a wide range of plants. I bought a lot of starts. I planted green peppers, hot peppers, bok choy, spinach, lettuce, green beans, peas, carrots, onions, pumpkins, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, strawberries, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon, and 13 tomato plants. I know that the list is long, but I had to let you know how dedicated we are to our garden. We have used lot's of stuff from the garden. Easton makes his way to the strawberry bushes the second he enters the backyard. The strawberries have never made it inside the house. There are some things that we haven't used. We just feed the cows next door all the lettuce and bok choy. I will try to can a lot of it next month for another first time. I have become such a homemaker in this new ward. One Sunday Tyler and the kids decided to pick a bunch of the produce and display it for all to see. Here are the pictures we took.
