First Harvest

What better way to commence this blog than with the year's first harvest!



We started backyard gardening a while back... but, life sometimes gets in the way. Our 2010 gardening harvest is comprised mostly of herbs (parsley, mint, basil) and some cool weather crops, chard, mesclun mix, and lettuce. The cherry tomatoes we planted in a container are yielding well. We had a stunning yield from the raspberry bushes (5 lbs) in June.



Today, we harvested the beans (leguminosae) We didn't get very fancy this year, but planted a few standards: Kentucky Wonder beans (pole), French Haricort (bush), and Yellow Wax Beans (bush). So here is a photo of today's yield from our back yard garden.



Here's to good eating, happy gardening and healthy land!
