Garden delight

Here are some great things we've been growing lately. I don't understand Tennessee yet because one year I'll get great big peppers and a zillion tomatoes, the next year I'll get 1 little measly green blob resembling what could be a pepper and maybe 5 tomatoes.  I still haven't had great success with zucchini....I mean seriously. Don't those things grow even when you don't plant them?  This year we are having great luck with green beans, beets, cucumbers, green peppers, lettuce and spinach. I got a bowl full of peas (I'm seriously thinking they aren't worth the space in the garden because I never get much from them) and the jury is still out on carrots and tomatoes. Enjoy seeing our spoils!

Our first picking: green beans, peas, banana pepper

2nd picking: more green beans, cucumbers, green pepper

more peppers!

Lettuce, spinach, and zucchini (don't let the big plant fool you...we'll see if it delivers)

My square foot garden. It's amazing everything that can come from such a small space!
I love seeing things grow like this. You my friend will soon be a pickle in a jar :)

Lisa,

I'm amazed at what your garden has produced already this season! Congratulations; my has lots and lots of weeds with a few vegies coming through.
Enjoy what you have.

Love it! I'm jealous.....I've only eaten radishes from my garden. I'm especially jealous of those peppers! My goodness. They are huge. Mine didn't grow last year. Here's to hoping for this year.
