Organic Gardening Week ?


This is what we picked at Frank's farm this morning

This is my garden after almost 2 months
A little summer squash

Our first green beans of the season

Riley picking beans in our garden

My first zucchinni

a cute little cucumber

cherry tomatoes

amish paste tomato

A baby bell pepper

My very first heirloom Brandywine tomato

I don't even know what week we are in my garden but it is really growing. Some of my tomato plants have grown like 8 inches in one night. My class ended but today we were allowed to go just to harvest. So I decided to take Riley with me. He loved it. He picked cucumbers, beans, turnips, and lettuce. It was so funny because he just pulled the entire plant out of the ground. We also got some huge sunflowers. They must have weighed like 15lbs. So we are going to dry them and roast the seeds and use some to plant more flowers. I also showed Riley some of Frank's bee boxes and told him we would do that some day and make our own honey. These are some pictures of what is growing in our garden.
