A New Crop

It's been awhile since we last posted for our garden. Basically the summer heat pretty well wiped things out. Our corn, which was close to harvest, burned up and about the only thing that survived were several pepper plants.
This is a photo of our latest crop with some broccoli and several tomatoes of various sizes. We have also quite a bit of Swiss chard.
Be keeping posted as we get additional crops in.

Corn & Tomato Plants

Another week has passed and, as you can see the corn & tomato plants are coming along quite nicely. This morning we harvested 2 cherry tomatoes and our first beef steak tomato as well as some more cucumber and some Swiss chard. It looks like we'll have some corn within less than a month and the beef steak tomatoes are starting to really sprout as well.

Harvest Basket

Here is one of our first harvest baskets at aproximately 6 weeks out from our planting. We are now starting to get at least a small harvest every week and it seems to taste appreciably better since we've grown it ourselves!
