The Fruits of our Labor (literally!)

For the second year, Ben planted a vegetable garden in our backyard. We learned from our mistakes last year and have quite the bounty to show for it! In addition to jalapeno, serrano, banana and bell peppers, tomatoes, and an assortment of herbs, we have a cucumber vine that is taking over our backyard. At least twice each week we pick several enormous cucumbers. Although we are struggling to figure out ways to eat all of our peppers (salsa, poppers, etc.), the cucumbers are quickly gobbled up. They really are delicious. Now we are trying to think of vegetables we can plant for fall.....I'd like to make this a year round activity. Emery enjoys going outside with Daddy every evening to water the "crops" when Daddy gets home from work. It's so cute. Hey neighbors, if anyone wants any peppers or cucumbers, let me know!
