Homestead 2



I'm pretty excited about my garden. Who knew tomatoes would like it so much here? This guy has exploded and is choking out the beans... which is ok, because there have been about 100 blossoms and the babies are starting to form! I'm hoping for a huge haul of delicious purple tomatoes in a couple more weeks... =)



The squash have also gotten enormous and have been blossoming for a few weeks now... but I've only found one baby zuch so far. I assume it will explode with produce too, but we'll see.



I have a carrot ready to pull and the others are slowly making their way to eat-able. This is exciting as well, since everyone said "oh, carrots are so hard. Good luck with that!" and I transplanted them several times. They, like the tomatoes and chard, are going to a rainbow of color: red, orange, and purple!


obviously, not a carrot.

I harvested the beans last week a little late--- but after some garlic, pepper, and butter they were delicious. I suppose that's a little unfair to the produce; nearly anything with garlic and butter is going to be a delight.
