The Garden

Our garden has been really great to us this year!  We seem to have a never ending supply of cucumbers, which we are all really enjoying.  We recently started picking corn, carrots and tomatoes as well.  This is definitely one of our best gardening years yet.

Cucumbers daily for close to a month now!

Just a few of the many carrots we picked over the weekend.

We planted some unusual (for us) tomatoes this year, and while they might look different, they taste delicious!

Emily is really enjoying the corn this year!

Last Friday afternoon, a freak storm blew through the central part of the state, dropping several inches of rain and tearing up large areas.  Although a suspected tornado in the next town over ended up being a microburst, the damage was substantial (85-100 mph winds).  The straight line winds did a number on our corn, although we were able to salvage about 30 ears.  We gave away some to our neighbors and have been feasting on the rest ourselves every night.
