We were asked if we would like to plant our garden in "Grandpa's Garden" this summer. Of course we said yes! I just hoped that we would be able to keep up with it and do it justice!! I wanted to make him proud!
We planted Sweet Corn, Tomato's, Potato's, Onions, Green Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Green Beans, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Watermelon, Gourds, Pumpkins and Indian Corn! Everything is doing great. We have really made an effort to walk down every few nights to keep the weeds down. Now we are getting tons of fresh veggies! I can barely keep up with the green beans and zucchini! I love seeing the kids work together and enjoy spending time outside, while learning how to grow a garden. I have great memories myself of helping in our huge garden as a kid!
It is awesome to eat fresh veggies every day that we grew ourselves!
Here are some photos of our garden and the kids helping in it! These photos were taken a couple weeks ago. We now have red tomato's and the plants are a lot bigger than in these photos.

It's beautiful and huge! Reminds me of the garden Rich's grandma grows....she gets enough out of it to feed the whole family, but we still like having a little one of our own. Thanks for sharing pics-I always love seeing other gardens! :-)
Beautiful garden.... puts our few plants to shame. I do have wonderful memories from woring in my dad's garden too, how wonderful that you are working in Grandpa's. Very sweet.
I love your garden - it looks great! I love the idea of gardens and fresh veggies all summer long, but anytime I attempt one...I normally end up killing everything LOL
Ohmygosh, when you said garden I was envisioning a 6 x 6 plot. Your garden rocks!
