Our 1st Garden

This was the first year we planted a garden and we had good success. Actually, Lynn planted it and took care of it for the most part. He knew more about gardening than I did. Anyway, we planted......carrots,
tomatoes,


peppers,

corn, cucumbers, beans and lettuce greens. Everything grew except for the beans. Out of three rows, only one plant grew. However, we have had a lot of beans off of that one plant. Our cucumbers did the best. We have had over a hundred and fifty cucumbers. We have done our best to give as much away as we can, but a lot still ended up in the trash. We learned a lot, though, and hopefully we will have better success next year. There are some other things we would like to grow and I want to learn how to can some of it or freeze some. (We need a freezer for that!) In the end we are pretty proud at what we accomplished with this garden.

awesome! Kevin too took care of ours. Maybe i'll be better about it next year. Yeah i'd love to freeze some too, but would need a deep freezer.
