First fruits


Yes, that's right, we're enjoying the first "fruits" of our vegetable garden. Yesterday, we had squash and today Joe and the boys picked several meals of beans. Even Joseph tried to eat his beans at dinner tonight since he said, "I picked that one." David loves green beans and ate his happily--both this afternoon, uncooked, while I was snapping them and tonight at supper.

Joe also fertilized everything and planted a few more tomato plants. We have aphids pretty badly and are going to have to spray soon.

How do you have snaps so early!? They look gorgeous (and delicious!)

We were surprised too and surprised at how many are coming so quickly. We picked just as many yesterday and there will be twice as many ready tomorrow (after the rain we've gotten). It is a bit overwhelming!
