2008 is the year that I am “greening my family and home”, I’m trying to live more eco-friendly, and attempting to reduce those food miles by growing our own organic veggies. Our garden has also helped Thade realize that our food doesn’t just come from Wal-Mart.
I’m really proud of those little Yellow Squash, and it proves to those local naysayers that YES, you can grow veggies without pesticides. I can’t wait to make my Garlic-Squash Couscous with my fresh produce.
We are out in the garden every day in the morning before it is too warm. Occasionally we have a cool insect that Thade has never seen before, and sometimes a toad or two. I love to watch the busy honey bees buzzing from flower to flower.
This week we had an amazing Moth that paid the garden a visit. The moth was huge, and Thade couldn’t believe his eyes. He asked if it was a bat, and gave it a little space just in case it was.
I hope that next week we’ll have a few more veggies, and maybe the kids will give them a try too.
I grow all of my produce, grass, flowers, etc. without an chemicals too.
Your squash is gorgeous!
Way to go! I bet you are proud! Hugs, heather
p.s. I was on a country drive this morning and noticed a man putting some fresh produce on this little counter by the drive-way. There was a FREE sign, so you bet i turned the car around and picked up some yummy cucumbers! He even had a small sign that said “No money, we are happy to share”. I thought what a wonderful blessing he is giving to others! Just made my day!!!
Thanks Mimi! Great job on your garden and yard too! I think it is so important to reduce the amount of chemicals that we are eating, and I just can’t put any chemicals on mine… The bugs get a few, but I’m proud to serve those chemical free fruits and veggies.
Thanks for the squash compliment too, I’m so proud of them, and Thade is too 🙂 Big hugs and have a great weekend!
Thanks Heather! Wow, what an amazing find, and what a kind person too 🙂 I bet the cucumbers were very tasty! Enjoy your fresh veggies! Sending big hugs your way, and I hope that you have a great weekend!
Holy smokes, how big was that moth???
Good job on growing the veggies, Nico!
Thanks Susan! The moth was really huge! It could have fit in the palm of my hand. It was so pretty though, but Thade was a little worried that it was going to bite 😉 I hope to get a few more veggies out of the garden, and I hope that Thade will try a few of them too. Sending big hugs your way and I hope that you have a great weekend!
