Ripening Time

A lot can happen in a week. When we left last week for vacation, the garden was mostly just green sprouts. But when we got home yesterday, after a week away, it was a different story.

Next, Lee pulled these onions out of the ground. We’re ready for a salad!

Things are definitely looking greener (and riper) around here. What vegetables are ready to harvest in your garden?

  1. Oh no, Emily! I hope you’ll still get to see something come up this year. Thanks for stopping in! We need to talk soon.

    Nancy,
    Glad you had a great trip to Disney. We are still watching our plants for some sign of life! We planted three tomato plants but we had a very hard freeze and I think it may have been too much for the little garden!! William is ready to be in Florence where we can try again next year! Oh, carrots never even sprouted up out of the ground! New Mexico is an interesting place to try a garden! :)
