First Harvest, ever!

We planted our first garden this spring. The initial prep of raised beds, etc, was not so fun. Then we planted seeds and the rains sure made a big mess of our nice, neat little rows. But everything is doing really well.

You wanna know the very best thing about this garden? Shawn is really the head hauncho. His mom gardened and so it is a wonderful memory of her, he is really in to it. I so love taking orders and letting him figure out the details, grin.

We planted two kinds of green beans, Shawn can't remember the exact kind his mom did so we will be taste testing them both to figure it out. I think I will like the fat beans better. We'll see.

Some of the new potatoes were ready too. Yum!!

Looking forward to peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers in the future. We have also harvested cilantro, lettuces, and onions. So fun. I'm loving this!

We currently are gardening up at the old barn, and next year we will plant watermelons, gourds, and a pumpkin patch there also. Eventually, we will have a garden closer to the house behind the Carriage House. I want tons of herbs, salad fixins, and hamburger toppings... in that garden...nice and close to the kitchen.

So we have donkeys, goats, chickens, and a producing garden... are we an official farm now?!
