The Green Thumb Returns

What a difference six weeks can make! Once doubting her green thumb, Paige has watched her garden blossom into a daily harvest of vegetables and herbs! There's no telling what vegetables will make their way to the dinner table ... from zucchini and summer squash to potatoes and tomatoes. They might be fried, they might be boiled, or even made into brownies! Corn, beans, and melons aren't too far behind. There's no telling what Paige will do with this year's bountiful harvest. Earlier in the season, we moved the garden further back into the yard to avoid the toxic soil from the nearby black walnut trees. Needless to say, it's been a great move with over 700 square feet of successful gardening. Our dinner table and food storage have truly been blessed.

Ok..Your garden is awsome! This year everything in my garden is puny. The weather in Michigan has been very cool this summer. Some days in the mid 60's. Congratulations and happy harvesting!
