Veggie Garden Update

Corn (now 7ft), carrots (stumpy but oh so tasty), cucumbers (sweet), coriander (or 'cilantro' from the Spanish)! Sammy helped harvest our first major crop - the tomatoes still need a little ripening, apparently come August. We made a fabulous salad with the bountiful cucumbers: capers, anchovies, olive oil, salt and sliced cucumber... yum!! A wonderful sense of satisfaction, not only from growing our own vegetables, and the kids seeing them thrive with care, but this is our first success in the garden! Can't wait for Grandie to see our produce.
