How to Grow a Garden – Blessings Multiplied

We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden!

Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:

Fresh from the Garden - Leafy Lettuce, Spinach, Radishes, and Broccoli!

A full dish strainer full of freshly picked goodies from the garden. A variety of leafy lettuces, spinach, several radishes, and a few small broccoli.

Zucchini, Radishes, and Broccoli from the Garden

Our first zucchini from the garden! The broccoli and radishes are done, we put in more radishes and replaced the broccoli with okra, we’ll see how it does.

Lettuce, Basil, Spinach and Dill fresh from the garden!

I have been enjoying our Vegetable Garden this year. Many thanks to my amazing husband for putting in the time and energy to help get it started for me. The girls are thrilled to help me pick veggies. The vegetables are fresh, delicious and they can be taken directly in to eat at dinner. This week we picked A LOT of lettuce (a variety of leafy lettuce), some spinach, a few radishes, and a couple small broccoli heads. My broccoli doesn’t get as big as the ones in the grocery store but they taste good! I even made homemade White Pie Pizza topped with fresh spinach from the garden, black olives (from the box sale), and mushrooms. All the neighbors and some of their family members have received lettuce from our garden already this year. It is amazing how having a garden will encourage your neighbors to come over and visit for a few minutes every week. The girls helped me deliver lettuce to those who haven’t had the chance to stop by the house this week. I am thankful that we have been blessed with a garden this year, I LOVE being able to eat fresh veggies and share with others. It has been a wonderful adventure and has already been a great venue for teaching the girls about giving to others and how to cook what we grow.
