Our First Garden

We had so much squash! I think we ended up with 12-15 of these huge things!

Alex enjoying the beautiful October weather, while we winterized the yard!


Our one and only pumpkin, Ethan loved watching this grow and turn orange.

These are our only apples from our tree. Last year we had two, so we were excited for our harvest this year! Plus, they actually tasted great this time!

Our biggest carrot, "prize winning carrot" as Ethan called it. It was delicious in our beef stew this last week!

This was an experimental year for us with a garden. Joseph never had a good experience with one growing up, so I was hoping to change his image of gardens. We had a very fruitful year! We grew tomatoes, peppers, corn, carrots, beets, lettuce, onions, squash, a pumpkin, kale (for a yummy Olive Garden Toscana soup recipe) and Rosemary for our herb garden. Ethan loved watching everything grow and change!
