Harvest

(Farmer) Brad was out in the garden this morning digging up the spoils of his work in the garden. Last year was the first year we had a garden and we learned a few things from it. 1) leave some room for things to grow. 2) don't plant too many potatoes or you'll be trying to pawn them off on other people who also planted potatoes. 3) plan carrots into soil that allows them to grown deeper so you don't just have little fat squat carrots. ~
4) only plant or two tomato plants because they seem to like the location of our garden and grow to a daunting and unmanageable size. ~
And 5) you better like cucumbers because you're going to get an assload of them.
~
I'd say we learned our lessons and this year had pretty good results.

Oh boy! Fresh out of the garden. Those will make the absolute best carrot cake. What a splendid result all round. Well done!

Funny you should say that, Mum, because yesterday afternoon that's exactly what I did. And we may have eaten half of it last night. Guess I'll be making another today!

Great job on the garden! Do the veggies taste better since you grew them yourselves? :) Robyn

Wow! Your garden puts my garden to shame! I think we'll be learning the carrot lesson too, cause I think all we have is little stumps, lol. But seriously....I'm jealous.
