Our Garden 2010

This year Maurice and I decided to have a bigger garden. We were hoping to have an abundance of veggies to share with our family, neighbors and friends. Check back often to see what is growing.

Asparagus beans


Yep, those are really beans, Asparagus beans. I haven't tried them yet. I have heard they are so tender. I cannot wait to give them a taste.

Trying to make pickles this year. Got a simple recipe off the net. We will see how it goes.

This one of the tomatoe plants in early May. We are still waiting to have them turn red. Boy do they look good, though.

Garden in early May


Row of tomatoes. I was asked earlier this week when I bought another tomatoe plant if I was "starting a tomatoe ranch". I am not sure what a tomatoe ranch is?

May 19th Snow Peas

Picked a handle full of snow peas today. Boy, are they sweet. I can just eat them raw. We also got 3 rows weeded- well de-grassed. :-)
