We're starting to harvest food from the Garden!

We've started to pick things from the garden! Today, I tasted a jalapeno pepper, picked a tomato, and touched a bumpy cantaloupe. The tomato garden is so out of control that my Mor (Lisa) had to tie it up with cages, bamboo, and string! We have to remember not to plant so many tomato plants next year! And, the melon / gourd / squash garden has grown through the fence to the neighbors' yard (with squash growing on their side of the fence)! 

I helped my mommy (Steph) put the rest of the weed barrier and pea gravel down on the paths between the raised gardens. My Mor is still working on the fence around the garden to keep the dogs and cats out. 

We've picked cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, red onions, red cabbage, banana peppers, and earlier we picked cauliflower, green peppers, rhubarb, green beans, and dill. And, our other herbs (basil, mint, oregano, and thyme) are all growing like crazy, too. But, we have to wait for the corn, pumpkins, squash, cucumber, cantaloupe, and the rest of the tomatoes (more grape and cherry, Roma, yellow, yellow pear, and heirloom) to grow and ripen before we can pick them.
