My Gardens

Okay, Dave calls me a farmer, and I don't think he's joking. I have two good sized gardens, an amazing peach tree and several orange trees. I really enjoy going out every morning and evening to water the gardens. It is like therapy for me. I love the bounty of delicious organic fruits and vegetables we enjoy. Most everything is ready in the gardens except for my tomatoes; they are coming along nicely though... I can't wait! Here is a sampling of some of my veggies.



Aaaahhh the peaches. This is summer to me; they are sweet juicy and delicous! My children loved picking them right off the tree.


Bell peppers; yummy!


Our family loves Swiss Chard; we will definitely plant this one again.


I have a few zucchini right now, waiting to get a few inches bigger.


These are Chiogga beets, they are red and white striped and sooo good.


I just collected more sugar snap peas this morning, the kids love them!


Our radishes are done for the season, they were wonderful.

    That all looks so good, Jen! My peach tree isn't even close to producing. Your pictures make me think it might not. Sigh. Good job!
