Vegetable Garden - Day 52

We have vegetables that are ready to eat! It's official, we have finally harvested some vegetables...well, actually its only the green beans. None the less, we have harvested some green beans! There aren't enough of them for us to actually make as part of a meal yet, but they are one their way.

 
Our vegetable garden is flourishing quite nicely now and it's only a matter of time before the other plants start sprouting vegetables as well.

The cucumber plants even have these pretty little yellow flowers blooming on them, so it won't be long before those fall off and the little cucumbers start growing!

The vegetable garden has taken over our screened porch, which kind of sucks because I can't leave the dogs out there anymore and we haven't been sitting out there lately because there are 5-gallon buckets and gardening paraphernalia everywhere.

This year's vegetable garden is sort of an experiment, so that next year we can actually know what we are doing. Hopefully next year Jared will build a little garden area in our yard so that the veggies don't have to be housed in our screened porch. Oh well, live and learn. Either way, I can't wait to eat some of our homegrown, fresh veggies!

Side note...so I informed my 1st period students that this week was Teacher Appreciation Week; therefore, they should be nice and well-behaved (for a change) for their teachers this week. They all looked up at me and laughed, so I said, "no seriously, be nice to your teachers and thank them", and they laughed at me again...disrespectful little brats.
