Long Time No See

Wow, it has been quite a while!  Between work and the heat, it has been hard to remember to come visit y'all.  So this is what has happened since we have parted. 

1.)  The corn produced.  Here is a pic of the kids with the first pick.  Since then, we have picked once more.
2.) We grew lots of beans.  Lots and lots of beans.  And then the ants ate lots and lots of beans and the plant leaves too.
3.) Eggplant success - both Japanese variety and Fairytale.
4.) More banana peppers. Of course, the one thing that we would eat the least of is what produces the most - naturally.
5.)  Sweet potato leaves go crazy. 3 or 4 harvests.  I am pretty sure we are getting more out of those plants as leaf bearers than whatever lies below the surface.
6.) And speaking of below the surface, the carrots are just okay and I have one green bell pepper.

There was one week that the garden produced enough food to cover a whole week!  That was pretty exciting.  To bad I was out of town the whole week after I picked it all and got to eat none of it.  Oh well.  I heard that the corn was super sweet and the beans super flavorful.
And today, I harvested a boat load more sweet potato leaves, some grape tomatoes and carrots - and 2 more ears of corn.  I have 3 more days at home, and will get to enjoy it all with the barbeque  this weekend.  Everyone have a great 4th of July weekend!
