The First Harvest of the Year



I know I really can't take credit for "creating" the vegetables from my garden, but I like the fact that my watering, weeding, and care contributing into a creation. Our meager little garden only contains one tomato and one cucumber plant - mostly due to the fact that my little family doesn't really eat many other vegetables, but also due to the fact that the road construction behind us require them to be on the last 10 feet of our property to set the sound wall at some point. That 10 feet is a good portion of our garden, so we opted to keep it small this year instead of losing plants mid-season. I enjoyed fresh tomatoes and cucumbers with dinner tonight and I was reminded of how much different fresh vegetables taste - SO YUMMY!
