TOMATOES!!!


Jessica has been anxiously awaiting the first red tomatoes from our garden and today was the day! This is our families first garden (only took us 10+ years to get it going) and we are starting to see the benefits. (Just in case you're wondering - Yes that is a Giselle dress, and Yes she finds a way to get in this dress almost every day!)


Our garden has been slow to start and compared to the neighbors our garden looks weak. But we are excited none the less! Our peppers are struggling and although our tomatoes had a slow start they are coming on now. Squash and cucumbers also had a slow start but I fear that one day they will take off and may even exceed our ability to eat them! We also planted some watermelons. I'm not sure what to think on this one - plants are growing but no melons yet???


I actually enjoy watering the garden and keeping an eye out for any new weedlings that are attempting to start up. It's a nice evening activity or a great start to a new day!

Love the dress and the tomatoes. Impressive! Thanks for coming to the bbq even after traveling from Powell. Brinley just loves Aspen.

Grandma Carol and I are visiting the family blogs today, dear Brad, and we are both happy to read about your tomatoes and to see Jessica in her Giselle dress. So good to see you all at B&B's last Saturday night. I got a few good shots of the water fight and will send them your way.
