Our little garden....
You can not believe how excited I was when I saw these...
Our first potatoes! I wanted to grow potatoes so we cut up a yukon gold we bought from the store and planted each piece in each corner of the box. I can not believe they actually produced anything. Those potatoes were from one plant.
Grae had to inspect each one with his "scope".
We're also growing blueberries, carrots, tomatoes, grapes, squash, eggplant, pumpkins, cranberries, elderberries, plums, pears, and various cut flowers.
Here is a carrot that Maddie pulled up. Why they can't wait until they are ready, I don't know!
It's red on the outside but orange in the middle.
Molly was in charge of washing everything.
I wish we had enough space to raise some chickens. I would love farm fresh eggs everyday!

wow! I am quite envious! I too want chickens & our local paper had a great article about raising chickens at home....I may need to investigate ;)
Congrats on the taters! We grew some once acccidentally in a compost bin. :0
How fun!
I love your boy's too big crocs on the wrong feet. haha!
jen - that is funny!
beki - he is not convinced they are to big for him nor they are on the wrong feet. I keep telling him that's why he trips but he doesn't believe me. Can't argue with a 3 year old.
Haha, arguing with a four year old with crocks on the wrong feet doesn't work either!
Fresh eggs every day are the best, why wouldn't you have enough space for some chickens, they don't need much space?
wow! I've always wanted to grow potatoes. yours look terrrrific. tried once and not sure where I went wrong. do tell please, how long did you have to wait from time of planting till you dug them up? We're gearing up to build a composting box near our garden.
What a dream garden! Totally inspiring me to branch out. I need to hurry up a plant something for Fall before it's too late.
