So she grows.

The garden's doing great. It's providing for us just enough without requiring too much sweat or backache. We had to harvest all of our beets since we had bugs eating all the leaves. But they were a great size when we pulled them and we have really been enjoying them so there was no loss there. Plus we aren't really worrying much about bugs since we did that. The tomatoes are doing awesome. Erin put in a drip irrigation system today. I added eggplant, acorn squash, persian cucumber, and some new peppers to the mix. I'm looking forward to it all. We've had great luck with the zucchini. The cucumbers were doing well at first but they haven't been making full-sized fruit lately. We're still trying to decide what we'll put in where the beets were. We'll probably do it soon since Erin added the compost in today.

Here are some photos I took this evening.
