Garden is growing great!

All our veggies are now growing wonderfully!

I can't wait.  Our romaine lettuce and radishes are ready to eat.  Someone asked what do I do with the jalapeno peppers.  Well, we're from TX...we eat them!  We eat a lot of mexican food and my dh will put them on sandwiches and even in his soups.  We usually get a bit more than we can handle and now living in New England, none of our friends seem to want any!  We do have a neighbor from  Alabama who will take some off our hands.

We have had a ton of rain this season and it's great for me, after I finally was able to get in a dry day here and there to finish planting, because we don't have to water the garden so much!  Only have had to water it once so far.  The weeds are also enjoying the water, but yesterday before a storm came I went out there and raked around the rows and hand picked all the little weeds growing right by the veggies. 

I feel so great about the garden this year because usually my husband did the bulk of the planting and work.  This year I've done it all myself, with a bit of help from the kids.  They like picking the food better than working in the garden.  Zarek is growing gourds and the plants are growing like weeds.  I think I'll take a picture over the weekend and post it on here.

Glad to hear your lettuces are coming in. My peppers are starting to show up, too. We are watering daily, though. Serious drought. Have fun harvesting.
