While some thought did<\/em> go into planning our garden this summer, the result has been a splendidly haphazard garden. We planned what we were growing and started everything from seed in the spring, but by the time we were ready to plant in the ground, Maggie had been born and stuff just needed to go in. We borrowed our neighbor’s rototiller to incorporate our backyard compost and got our seedlings in the ground. By the time we had it all in, we realized we had more space than we had planned for and made a mental note that next year we could go bigger. As time went on, we got some surprises: lots of “volunteers” started sprouting up all over the place as many tomato plants and vines took over the unclaimed real estate! We’ve been delighted as we discover what’s coming up and have been watching all kinds of expected and unexpected plants grow. The produce has been delicious, and what’s even better is that Griffin is excited to be part of it all. I’d call that success!<\/p>\n

We’ve already made one batch of pesto. Griffin just loves picking the leaves and smelling them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our tomatoes love being close to the house and have gotten really tall!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We can’t wait for this honeydew to be ripe! We smell it every day in hopes it will be ready.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We get a couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes daily, as well as several sweet, crunchy Persian cucumbers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
