• Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Cherry Tomato, Zucchini, Summer Squash and Green Beans!

    Our first pick from our garden…..a red cherry tomato!

    We are super excited to seeing the fresh vegetables growing in our garden again!  So far we haven’t had to water too much because we have been getting so much rain, now we need to get a little sun to help balance things out.  Our first produce was ready to be picked the first day of June, one little cherry tomato!  Since then we have noticed more veggies starting to pop up.  We got our garden planted late this year with all the traveling, but we are hoping that it will be a fruitful year.  We split the “first” produce of the year but cutting up the cherry tomato and putting it in a meal for the whole family to enjoy.

    Zucchini, 2 for 1 Summer Squash, and a handful of Green Beans

    We have started to slowly see the fruits of our labor in the garden this year.  It seemed to take longer with us plant much later but we hope to have plenty to share with others.  We have picked lettuce a few times for salads but since it is usually at dinner time when I busy prepping for the meal I have been forgetting to take a picture to share.
