First Harvest!

Yesterday was an exciting day for little Libby Lu... as I've posted before, she worked very hard planning and planting our garden several weeks ago. It's amazing what a green thumb this child has! Well, with all the rain we've had, we had green beans ready to pick a little earlier than we anticipated. And yes, I'll admit it, the kids were picking beans in their PJs. Isn't everything better done in your PJs?

Libby, hard at work picking beans.

Roan, in his short-lived harvest mode. He quickly had enough...he doesn't share Libby's passion for gardening and hard work. (Typical man!)

To Libby's left are marigolds that she grew from seed. Libby is over 4' tall, and as you can see, the marigolds are nearly to her shoulder! I told you she's got a green thumb!

Libby and her first green bean harvest...along with one onion. The onions need a little more time.

We've got corn on the cob setting on; we're hoping the raccoons don't steal it all this year. We've also got tomatoes and peppers that should be ready to pick by the weekend. What a gardener I have!!
