I'm so happy!

I love my garden!

It makes me so happy to be able to go out back and pick out fresh fruit and veggies for our meals. Today we decided to pick half of our carrots and beets.



Aren't they beautiful?


We also picked some Anaheim peppers, bell peppers and tomatoes for our turkey chili that's in the crock pot as we speak. My house smells AMAZING!

Last week Tyler and I made kosher dill pickles. We have to wait until Saturday to open them and it's practically killing us.

And today I made my first batch of pickled beets. They are so tasty!



Things from our garden don't always have a happy ending.

We picked our first watermelon.

We were SO excited to eat it!

Apparently it wasn't quite ready to be harvested.....

We're still learning!
