So here are some of our garden pics...we produced much more food than I would have thought. I had major doubts about the zucchini...didn't think they'd have enough sun, well they had plenty of sun and almost took over the whole yard!! Thanks to Andrew's optimism for the plants we were able to enjoy everything from grilled and fried zucchini to zucchini brownies, muffins, bread and even pancakes.
Our tomatoes were okay; the cherry tomatoes were the best but the roma's weren't as good. Many started but then died or Malachi picked them too soon. We did get a couple of beefsteak though.
Strawberries were a treat! SO sweet....I mean I have a sweet tooth but they were almost too sweet!
Our herbs didn't do as well, basil died right away...oregano hung on a little longer and parsley is still going a bit...but we didn't harvest it much.
It was great to have home grown lettuce, but while we were out of town in the summer they started to sprout or something, I can't completely explain it....got really tall without producing anything.
Anyway, it was fun and we're hoping to be in a place next year that has more space for a bigger garden! There may be some repeat pictures below from previous posts but I wanted to be able to compare the pictures next to eachother.
