Well, I recently harvested the rest of what was in the garden, so here are the results. Not bad if I do say so myself.
Basil
Oregano
Monster Zucchini :)
Tomatoes. This is probably 10% of the tomatoes I got the whole season.
Here's my little helper making some tomato sauce.
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Russet Potatoes
Carrots, duh.
Somehow I forgot to take any pictures of the lima beans, but they turned out really well also. Dallas and Justin loved eating them right off the plant.
Last winter, when I was planning my garden, I remarked to Justin that it would be so cool if I could make a venison roast with a deer that he shot and use veggies that I grew. Lo and behold...OUR HOMESTEADER'S DINNER!!
And the final expirement for 2012....my compost. Needs a little more time to decompose, but luckily it has all winter. Can't wait to put it on my garden next spring. Next year, I'm taking the gardening up a few notches, so expect big things to come.
I'm so glad your garden turned out well! We are so excited to have the space to plant one next year! I've got a stack of Gardening in the Carolinas books to read, a new compost bin Nick built & eager children to help! That monster zucchini is almost as big as that cute boy holding it!
