the harvest continues

the garden is still alive and kickin. i am not the best person at watering it, lets be honest. there have been plenty of times i have had to guilt ben into going and watering it at like 11:30 at night by reminding him of all the nice things i do for him because i totally forgot to. but it has all been well worth it! after weeding and fertilizing the soil and the initial planting, i really haven't done anything to it other than water it. i kid you not, but no weeds have even really grown.so here are some pictures of the last few harvests i have had from the little garden. i usually go out about once every 7 or 8 days and pick everything over and this is the kind of results we have been getting!







the only bummer is that some slugs have appeared as of late and have been destroying some of the biggest of the tomatoes i have been waiting to rippen. i think they have probably taken down about 9 big ones. its okay though, because we still have had so many, though they aren't really pictured here. next year will be exciting to try more new things and see how they all grow too.

That is a pretty nice yield. By the way, Ash and I think that you and Ben make a pretty great couple. Just thought I would let you know.
