Sunday Garden Tour

The kids and I spent nearly seven weeks at my parents' house this summer. Before we left, we harvested what was ready in the garden.

Carrot. 

Beets.

Carrots and Beets. Three microscopic tomatoes.

Fun tip for the whole family, if you eat enough beets, your pee turns red. (MOM! COME LOOOOOOOOK!) Good Times.

While we were gone, Steven took good care of everything. He sent us pictures.

He made us two peach pies and froze them so that we wouldn't miss out. (I know!)

More wee tomatoes.

Mr. Squash.

Orange McOrangerson.

Other stuff.

We were happy to have some things to harvest when we got home.

Same pepper. There was just the one, but who's complaining?

Happy End of Summer. How did your garden do?

The Return Of The Sunday Garden Tour

We are spending some time in the garden. We spotted a rare East African Butterfly.

Loquat Harvest

Steven and I continue to disagree on whether the kids will need all ten fingers as they grow up.

Behold the Loquat!

Discussing Pectin.

Happy Sunday. Don't be surprised if you receive jam from us this holiday season.

Steven's new contraption for drying.

Anyone have a good recipe that uses sun dried tomatoes?

Asparagus!

And...

Blueberries!

Preparations have begun. (Did I mention her school teaches 'inventive' spelling to encourage a larger vocabulary?)
Hoping we actually eat the chard this year, and that we have enough tomatoes to make and can our own spaghetti sauce.

Also hoping I get one blueberry before Melese consumes them all.

What are you planting?

(If it isn't snowy where you are, and please don't hate because it is 70 degrees today. The traffic is terrible and everyone is an actor).

This picture is a good representation of how I feel about parenting lately...
