Garden Update

Here are a few pictures of our growing garden. The corn has definitely taken a beating this spring. We had a huge rain storm last night and the last 3 rows of corn are laying flat on the ground, hopefully they will bounce back. Sadly the peas didn't produce, fresh peas are the only way I 'do' peas, so we'll definitely try them again next year. The pumpkin plant has taken over the garden, and has tried to spread out over the garden wall. We have to keep reminding it of it's place. The carrots are coming along, and the lettuce has been fun to watch, it is just beginning to curl down into what I would expect to become the head. We have lots and lots of green tomatoes. I was hoping I would be able to enjoy one freshly picked tomato before we left for Utah, but I don't think it is going to happen. Darn. We are having so much fun with our little garden and can't wait for the corn! I can almost taste the corn smothered in melted butter and salt and pepper. Yummy!
(Garden. My marigolds are going crazy this year. I've never had them grow into such huge clumps! )

Bet that garden isn't looking so lovely after the NASTY sorm we jsut had- maybe it's better you're away and don't have to see it! That was the craziest storm I've seen!

That is AMAZING! Our garden consists of neglected raspberry bushes that the previous owners had planted. Your garden sounds very yummy!
