First Harvest of Summer 2008

A small first harvest. We'll blame the tons of rain.


Ok, if we are being honest, the one red tomato is the only early one that survived Lil'Bug's budding culinary artistry, ala green tomato secret soup for the birds. Secret as in hidden for a week in the heat and found by a, "Hmmmmm, what is that awful smell and where is it coming from?"
First tomato was quickly eaten as was the first pepper.


Ha ha. The tot gets the prize.


What's this? A small green pepper? Mmmmm. Yum. Wait a minute.

What happened next? Mama had to put the camera away and assist with an emergency mouth is burning OMG help crisis from the tot who licked the pepper seeds out of the case. A Serrano pepper. Water, milk, strawberry ice cream, lots of tears, and eventually just time. Learning happens everyday!

  1. Great Pictures! It looks like a good harvest to me:O) We missed you today at the park! It was super muddy there but certainly not crowded.

  2. I think the rain made all of garden bloat. the rhubarb became a shrub, the tomatoes' circumference grew, the soybeans are about 3" taller, you get the picture.
