Let the Harvest Begin!


I spend a lot of time babying my garden. Maybe it just needs to be left alone sometimes. After spending five days away from home, we came back to find our corn is seven feet tall, our pumpkins are turning orange, and our beets are peeking out of the ground. It was so fun to spend a morning harvesting lots of different foods with my children. This is the first year they have been excited to eat squash, because they are the ones picking it off the stem. I feel so blessed to have a space where I can grow food to put directly on my table.

I've been dying for a post on this blog! Good job on the harvest. I'd really be interested to see pics of your garden in full growth.
