The Harvest Begins

green beans

Thanks to our wonderful neighbors who watered our garden and fed our animals while we were out of town last week, I was able to begin harvesting some of our vegetables today.

We got more than a gallon of green beans and 8 cucumbers. Notice the smaller ill-shaped cucumbers in the front of the photo? This happens when the moisture level in your soil is inconsistent. They are still just as delicious as the "normal" cucumbers pictured in the back. If you've never had a fresh cucumber right out of the garden - Man-O-Man you are missing something!

As a thank you to our neighbors, we shared our eggs, green beans and cucumbers with them this week.
