The beauty of nature

All of the food we grow either starts or ends as a flower. Some are beautiful, some are plain, but they're all amazing in their own way.

Bananas

Dill

Onions

Cilantro

Lettuce

Broccoli

String beans

Cherry tomatoes

Potatoes

Cucumber (notice the baby cucumber to the left)

First harvests

Ken and I have been playing around with "farming" in our small backyard. We have managed to get a pretty substantial amount of food out of it.

These are some random shots of our first fruits and veggies from April until about a week or so ago.

Purple potatoes

One of many, many, MANY cucumbers

Cherry tomatoes

String beans

Edamame, string beans, eggplant and strawberries

Our first watermelon

This is our first watermelon "baby" sitting on a bed of dry leaves.

This is a second watermelon about a month later. Notice the leaf in the upper left corner...it's still pretty tiny!

Our baby is all grown up....
