Progress with the garden....

Do you see our first red cherry tomato?

The cantaloupe is blooming.

Green beans already?!?

The asparagus patch has really done well this year.

This onion looks about ready to come out of the ground.

Taking a break in the zucchini posts, I thought you might enjoy seeing the garden's progress.  The Husband works very hard in it to keep the weeds at bay.

One practice we follow is to use no pesticides at all.  This is truly an organic garden, with the soil enriched only by our compost. 

We did enjoy those green beans for dinner while City Girl was here over the week-end.  There are more to come, as well as more zucchini!  Aren't you excited?  The next post just may return to something tasty with zucchini!  Always looking for sneaky ways to get vegetables into our diet.:-)

Thank you for reading, and your comments are appreciated!

Tune in again for the next zucchini treat!:-)

  5. Your Husband always takes great care of the garden and the rest of the outdoors at your home! He just has that knack for those chores that are so necessary for successful gardening! Everything is looking beautiful, especially that pretty little cherry tomato! Those are so wonderful in a green salad as well as in other dishes that you have served. Looking forward to your next sneaky zucchini recipe!

  10. Your veggie garden is doing great, Nellie. I do see that cherry tomato. Neat!!!

    My son in GA called last night and is so excited about their garden...

    Hope you have a nice day. We had hoped to get some good rain this week--but most of it has missed us.
    Hugs,
