Garden bounty, and Tuesday will be an exciting day!

Though I go to the new house site nearly every day (it's about 4 miles from where we're living), I keep forgetting my camera! Part of the 2nd floor is up, and tomorrow the trusses come, which will make the house go from it's current 1 story frame to a 2 story! EXCITING!

I'll get out there tonight and take some before photos.

In the meantime, here's a shot of Saturday's harvest from my garden:

Sugar Snap Peas














This winter, I planted a lot of seeds, and with the cool spring we had, the sugar snap peas went crazy. The sweet peas are blooming fiercly, too. These Sugar Snaps are just about finished, and the tomatoes (I planted 13!) are blooming now and I'm hoping they'll set fruit soon.

For tomatoes, I planted Sungolds, Brandywines and Boxcar Willies (chosen for Willie our dog). I also planted (though not from seed) 4 hot peppers, one eggplant, two summer squashes (one's ready to pick today!) and a cucumber. I lost the Ambrosia melon, but have lettuce, parsley, chives, cilantro, basil, arugula and lettuce. And a lot of weeds, which will probably be the end of me. I'm trying to be organic, and the weeds are out of control. I try to keep them weed-whacked and just look the other way. It certainly isn't a magazine photo-worthy garden, but I love it anyway. I can't wait until I get to live where my garden is!
