A Veritable Horn of Plenty

These days our garden is simply bursting with produce: carrots, cucumbers, beets, cabbages, kale, leeks and onions -- not to mention our first tomatoes are finally ripening. The corn is starting to form it's ears and our potato plants seem to have withstood the worst of a vicious siege put on by the potato bugs.

This morning Steph spent 20 minutes in the garden while I was doing an interview and when I came into the kitchen this is the sight that greeted me!

The Morning's Cornucopia

Thanks to Ken and Kathy Wegrzyn for the beautiful basket to collect produce in! And, Deo gratias for a bountiful harvest thus far!

  2. Glad the basket works!

    But one word of caution....this time of the year you need to be careful what you say outside near the garden.....

    that garden may just have ears!!

  4. Wow! I have to imagine that that 20 minutes of plenty was the result of hundreds of minutes of previous labor. In good news here, we planted some cactus (and some flowers) in our backyard!
