Mini garden gone wild!
Since we live on the military base, we are not supposed to have a garden. Oops! This is our second year having a garden and it is doing very well for no bigger than it is. Our biggest producer is the tomato plants. There are 4 celebrity (red tomatoes), 4 lemon boy (yellow tomatoes) and one grape tomato plant. This picture doesn't do them justice as each of them are over 6 feet tall! When we got back from Kansas, Bear picked 4 gallon buckets worth of veggies and had enough to give 3 other families some and still have a ton left over! Each day since we got home, another 10 or so have been picked. Our cucumber plant has been vining up the fence so the cucs have been growing in between the slats, making for some unusually shaped ones. The girls love to pick the ripe veggies and eat them right away. It is such a great learning experience that every kid should have!!!
