It has been 4 long years since we have had a garden with fresh veggies. There's nothing that beats fresh corn-on-the-cob and a juicy ripe tomato. Tyson was determined to plant a garden, even though it didn't get planted until mid-June and was an hour away from our house (up at his mom's in Beaver). We shared the garden with Nanette's family and David's family (siblings), but there was more than plenty veggies to go around, plenty of weeding and watering too!
They planted corn, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, watermelon, pumpkins, radishes, turnips, beets, peas, and beans. An early frost at the first of September froze almost everything except the precious tomatoes that they continued to cover for a month on the cold nights. I am so thankful they did because they are yummy and produced more than we could imagine.

The carrots and beets were not that impressive (there were more than this), but they still tasted great!

From the garden tomatoes, I made salsa, spaghetti sauce, and stewed tomatoes. I also made some yummy raspberry peach jam.

Steph,
