Garden Bounty

So much to harvest, so little time... 

I was so excited this weekend to find a bunch of goodies waiting for us in the garden. As I began the never ending job of weeding my massive garden I looked down and spied this little beauty peeking back up at me... 

    Red Potatoes! 

They were beautiful, just the right size, a bit lumpy and silly looking but they're my silly looking spuds! 

I tugged up a few of the carrots to see what was going on under there (ya really never know what they could be doing down there!) This year we planted dragon carrots which are a deep purplish-red on the outside and an orangish-yellow on the inside. They are actually quite pretty.

I pulled about 3 carrots, also pretty silly looking and a bit small still so I'll let them be for a few more weeks. I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, my carrots always look like little gremlins when I yank them out of the dirt - little scrappy legs and rollie-pollie arms.

They are still pretty small but wow they are funky shaped.

The lettuce is beautiful and tasty too. 

                              

Eeekk! Look at these cute pear tomatoes can't you see them on your plate in a few weeks? I have big plans for you little pretties!
