We have had a very full summer already and it is only the beginning of July! We have tried hard to take advantage of this beautiful weather... in doing so we have taken on a new project of gardening. We learned of a new community garden in our neighborhood which just opened up a few weeks ago. We have been working very hard at it and here it is in the bottom picture. No, we did not grow any of these from seed:) Since the planting started so late everyone has put in the already started plants... maybe it will bring us better luck?? Lettuce to the left, then cucumbers, butternut squash, 3 types of tomatoes, and celery & peppers in the right most row. The top three pics are of our "garden" growing in pots on our stairs... lettuce, tomatoes, herbs & cucumbers. We are considering this year an experimental year, I will try to keep you posted with the products of our harvest.... you should all be expecting canned veggies, salsa and dried herbs for Christmas gifts this year:)
