Vegi Garden

The "Food Garden" belongs to Anthony. It's a boy scout project I'm helping him with (by forcing him to do it), but he loves it. How could you not? Growing food is so fulfilling. We've had a lot of fails in the past, so Anthony's garden went in the front yard, where the sun and water are. It's just two 4x4 raised beds, but we're milking that space for all that it's worth.

So far, we've harvested...


...broccoli....


...our adorable baby cauliflowers....


...grew up (and were mercilessly eaten.)

Anthony said he was going to take one to Lily and tell her, "I grew you a delicious cauliflower." (You have to picture that being said in the best Napolean Dynamite voice ever.)


We're still waiting on brussel sprouts (please!), zucchini, cucumbers, and peas.


...and, on the far right, sunflowers, which it's impossible to get an up-to-date picture of, because they grow so dang fast.


Now that the broccoli and cauliflower are out of the way, it's time to plant tomatoes!!! Yay!

  3. Amazing! And Brussels sprouts are coming? I am so jealous! Are they fall vegetables over on that side of the country? You guys have really been working your little hineys off in the yard!
