A garden tour

Our garden is in full swing. Last night we went out to pick tomatoes and one was the size of lil gman's head, no joke. Here is a picture to proof it:


We then went for a walk through the neighborhood and checked out our neighbors gardens we realized our tomato plants are giant! Not sure if it is because of the spot we have them in or because W put 3 bags of fertilizer down at the beginning of the season. Here are some pictures of our garden.

 Our tomato plants are the size of our corn stalks..

Can't wait for our peppers to turn yellow...

Next year our artichokes will start producing, yummy

We also have grape tomatoes which I love to use for sauces and salads and to eat all by themselves

Never ever plant mint. It takes over and becomes a bush and you will never come up with enough stuff to use it in or enough money to pay people to take it.

Lil g is stirring so I better end this quick. Hope you all are enjoying the fruits of summer and if you are looking for some mint let me know ;)

    I wish I had a vegetable garden! We decided to try to keep the flower garden alive this year and if we do well we will try veggie garden next year.
