We planted our vegetable garden a couple of months ago. Like doting parents...we've watered and weeded...inspected leaves...picked off bad bugs...and given our young plants some encouraging kind words. Now, we're getting to the fun part...beautiful blossoms followed by baby veggies!
Like any proud parent...I have a few choice pictures to share...like this cute little squash...our first! I can't wait to cook up a skillet of squash and onions. Add some corn on the cob, tomatoes, and lima beans and you have the best summer dinner ever!
This ribbon wrapped teepee is home to our English peas. They're just starting to mature...they're great just eaten right out of the pod...some never make it inside! It's amazing how different fresh vegetables taste from their canned version on the grocery shelves. I've never really cared for English peas,
but I love these! Even if peas only produced their delicate blossoms and vines they would be worth growing in the garden. 
Maybe by this time next week we'll be eating these beautiful Brandywine tomatoes. In summer the answer to the question, "What's for lunch?" is usually...tomato sandwiches!!
I picked these carrots tonight. Aren't they pretty?
The basil and Swiss chard are coming along. I've got to figure out how
to cook the Swiss chard. I must confess I planted it because of its
name...Bright Lights...with veins in varying bright colors!!
I hope your gardens are doing well. Email me some pictures of your garden "babies." I'd love to see your gardens, too!
