Harvest time

Here’s a peek at what’s growing our garden. A few posts back you can see that these were all little seedlings and now these plants are producing harvest for us! Beginning of the season had it’s hiccups as we were not able to give enough time to the garden. As a result we lost some of the plants. Good thing we planted multiples of each. However now we’re back in business and I’m happy to report that our plants are doing quite well!

Lavender and mint thriving! While we use the mint, we don’t know how to use lavender much. So if you’ve any simple ways do let us know!

Strawberries! I think we planted only one of these. This is probably the best that a strawberry plant has grown in our garden. Look at the baby strawberries! Given that there’s only one plant, the yield is not too bad.

Summer squash and zucchini always make us happy! They do have an either/or relationship. Either we get summer squash in plenty or zucchini Smile This year it seems to be the summer squash.
