Carrots we picked from our garden last night.
Okay, so our garden has been overrun by weeds. Having been in my third trimester throughout the growing season, then post-partum, tending the garden wasn't high on my priority list. Add in Shawn working lots of overtime and you get a completely weed-infested crazy jungle of a garden. It is really not pretty right now.
Last night we pulled down our corn stalks. We have neglected watering them for a while, so they were withered and dry. We did manage to get some off of them a while back, but they are done for the season. This weekend we're thinking of pulling down the bean plants, which are also done and trimming the dead parts off of the sunflower stalks and our still (amazingly) yielding tomato and pepper plants. Once we weed the carrot patch, we should be able to get a fair amount of carrots from there, too!
In the meantime, though, I cannot post any pictures of the garden as it is much too embarassing to show to anyone. Once we get it looking a little more presentable, I will post some.
So far from our garden we have had:
Potatoes
Carrots
Lettuce
Corn
Tomatoes
Broccoli
Cauliflower
A few teeny strawberries
Green beans
Peppers
....and coming soon, we hope we should be able to have some sunflower seeds! Truly amazing. I guess all my praying over our garden paid off!
Pictures soon!!
