This was our third year to plant a summer garden here. The garden is all Chad and I love how much he enjoys it. I love watching it grow and watching the yard turn green as the days get warmer. This year our tomatoes did so much better than other years and we even got a few ears of corn for the first time. We've eaten many a zucchini pie, tomato pie (this recipe... but we don't use a pre-baked pie crust) and tomato sandwich this summer!
We planted: zucchini, squash, cucumbers, green peppers, corn, tomatoes, okra
March- new dirt/prepping the box
April 21- planting

We love teaching the boys and love seeing them get excited about the plants growing. Chad's been really good about letting them help and teaching them. Grayson has gotten so excited when he finds stuff ready to be picked this year.
The tomato below was HUGE. Pictures don't really do it justice. It looked like 4 tomatoes put together. Chad thought it was funny because it was bigger than Miller's head.
The sunflowers were really fun again this year. We had some that got SO tall.
Chad is 6'1" and they were taller than the boys standing on his shoulders. The boys loved this :)
Some sweaty boys dissecting a sunflower and getting the seeds out.
Grayson enjoyed taking his scissors out and cutting flowers to bring in.
