6-11-09 Tomatoes-Potatoes-Carrots-Berries

This is Kate's Garden.
It's named after the person who made it possible.
My name is Suzanne. This will be a record of the garden to feed and bless many. We hope to take you through the entire process of planting, canning, and drying fruit and veggies.
~God Bless This Garden~
Here's the first DON'T. Do not plant broccoli when the weather is too hot! It will bolt like these did and go to seed. We will save seeds for next year.

I was still too weak from the horrible asthma attack yesterday, so Jessica took the kids to the garden and got some great close-ups. Here's the kids next to the potatoes.

I can taste potato soup already. :)

Cabbage is coming right along.

Won't be long til the green beans are blooming. Then the canning starts.

Oooh...little baby zuchinni squash.

Great close-up of some tomatoes.

I'm keeping my eye on this one. It will probably ripen first. :) Looks like we may have some small tomato worms in the foliage. They will get HUGE so will pay the kids to pick them off each day. :) :) I refuse to touch those horrible tomato worms. ESPECIALLY when they get big. :)

Just found this pic of one of the horrible beasts.. YUK!!!!

Lots of little tomatoes coming right along. Plan on canning tons along with peppers and onions.

The tomato pics are from different beds and are all doing very well.

Onions are doing very well.

Here's a really nice close-up of the blackberry cluster.

Rhubarb is very pretty.

Sweet Potatoes have started to grow now. Took them awhile to come out of shock.

This is one of the newest carrot beds. Just starting to come up.

I am sooo ready for some fresh lettuce. It will grow fast now.

Last, but not least, the 20,000 Carrot bed. Must start thinning them. :)
