Summer Garden

We planted our first garden this summer. Little I and GG planted green beans in May. We then added 4 varieties of tomatoes (red zebra, brandywine, marzano & what was supposed to be grapes tomatoes but must have been labeled incorrectly) some herbs and a sweet baby watermelon.

Here the boys are picking the green beans. We had a nice crop and while they will not claim green beans as a favorite veggie they ate them. Victory!



The red zebra tomatoes have done very well, the brandywines are delicious but the plant grew so tall & heavy that we have had a hard time keeping it upright, the marzanos were disappointing and the mystery tomato is a mystery we would probably not repeat but we can now plan better for next year! We currently have two grapefruit sized watermelons growing and the boys are faithful to check on them anticipating the day they get to eat them!
