Smith and I have learned first hand that gardening is addicting. This post is 100% for Norma, who had a birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday, dear friend. You and your garden have been an inspiration and, with your guidance, we have had the good results with our garden this year.
This is our harvest Saturday morning. Broccoli, zucchini, radishes (galore), yellow squash, and one Lemon Boy tomato (with many more to come).
Sunday we found one more harvest surprise...
a HUGE potato!
From the looks of it we'll have quite a harvest in a few weeks and, if everything grows, the harvest could be overwhelming. Look at the corn, peppers, tomatoes and Brussels Sprout, all of this in our 24x24' garden. No wonder I have little time to knit.
And, how's this for a surprise? Our community now has chickens! Aren't they cute? The board is also talking about adding lavender fields and apiary. We lucked into a very fine community garden. Gardening is as fascinating as any project I've ever taken on and the process is very much the same. I think I'm hooked.
Congratulations on the chickens!
