The Harvest Begins

Last night after dinner (I don't work well on an empty stomach), Nick and I headed over to the garden to do a little weeding. To our surprise, the garden was still to wet to work in, so I collected bugs for my IPM presentation with the hispanic youth garden and Nick surveyed the progress of our garden. I am happy to report that we have harvested our first vegetable from our garden!! Unfortunately for me, it was a zucchini. By the looks of things, we're going to have a lot of them too. NICK planted two hills of them.

Melvin's sweet corn was also ready- so we took a bag of that home with us. That isn't technically ours, so I can't claim it but I did help weed it, so that counts for something, right? Nothing tastes as good as fresh sweet corn and I'm looking forward to having some of that with my dinner tonight! I won't be doing anything with the zucchini in the fridge. Nick can enjoy that all on his own!
