The Fruits of our Labors

Sure, we’ve been harvesting a few things here and there since the official start of the spring planting season, but a quick look around the garden at the huge number of things growing, soon to be ripening, makes the mouth water…

Did some cleanup this weekend, removing the poor water- and fungus-logged cucumber vines.  In their place we started a handful of Virginia peanuts from the Edible Gardens gift pack.  Peanuts have a long growing season but our “summer” can last as long as November, so we have plenty of time.  All the tobacco seeds have sprouted, as well, so we’ll need to get those boxes ready to go.

We’re getting to the enviable position of having more than enough space for everything we want to grow.  We’re not going to know what to do with ourselves without any upcoming carpentry projects!
