<\/p>\nThis past weekend ended up being both busy and fun!\u00a0 We had a swim meet on Saturday which really wiped us out for the rest of the day.
\nOn Sunday, after church we spent some much-needed relaxing time at the pool!
\nMonday, I ran around the world and back.\u00a0 I did manage to pick up half a bushel of green beans from the farm stand I LOVE!<\/p>\n
All of this meant that I really have not had time to take pictures to post with the update.\u00a0 But this morning, I headed out to do a little bit of garden work and take pictures but wait of course my phone is dead!<\/p>\n
I was SUPER excited to be able to actually harvest several things this morning!\u00a0 So excited I had Kendall take a picture to share!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chives, lettuce, a handful of green beans, 2 squash, 2 cucumbers, a zucchini and snap peas!\u00a0 \u00a0It is small but at least we are getting things from the garden!<\/p>\n
The other garden news is not nearly as exciting or happy!\u00a0 We found 2 tomato worms on Sunday. Unfortunately, it was after they had stripped at least 2 plants of the leaves and consumed half of my biggest tomato.\u00a0 We fed them to the chickens as protein!\u00a0 I have been keeping a watch on the plants to make sure there are no more and so far so good.\u00a0 \u00a0Our tomato plants are now taller than me and we are starting to see little tomatoes forming!\u00a0 \u00a0I really want a good harvest this year but I am going to be contend with what we are given at least that is what I keep telling myself.<\/p>\n
Final thought- One of my big goals this summer is to have a year’s supply of food on hand for the next school year. I want to complete this as doing a little each day as long as possible.\u00a0 \u00a0That is actually my reason for purchasing the green beans.\u00a0 Zach and Kendall have helped with snapping the beans and we have canned 23 pints of green beans. This is one jar every two weeks which is likely what we will use. I am going to use our home grown beans to freeze to make fried beans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
