Garden Harvest

It's hard to stop and take a pic when you're hungry and just wanting to make something to eat, but we did stop and take this pic of produce from our garden. Reeve and Kyle were happy to help me harvest garlic, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

We've been happily eating fresh tomatoes everyday now for the past week. Sometimes we eat tomatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but no one is complaining. They're the largest variety of Roma's that I've every grown, and they're very tasty. I also grew another variety of beefstake (I think). Reeve took this picture, and I thought he did a pretty good job.


We have more basil than I know what to do with! When we get back from our camping trip I think I will have to dehydrate it. I love having too much.

We also had an abundance of cucumbers, so I made pickles for the first time. We'll test them when we get back from camping.

We're going camping on Lake Michigan at the Point Beach State Forest. This was Reeve's idea. He's been begging to go visit the Great Lakes ever since we read about them. I'll take lots of pictures and post them when we get back :-). The last time we were camping as a family for more than one night was three years ago when we went camping with my Auntie Mary Lea and Uncle Rye and Cousins Elena & Austin in the Golden Ears Provincial Campground in British Columbia. That's too long for people who suposedly love the outdoors.
