Garden Update


Here is a mid-summer update on our garden.

Grace holding our first zucchini we picked. So far we have gotten 3 and I have made zucchini fries and shredded some to freeze for zucchini bread.
A bad storm passed through Hannibal on a Tuesday afternoon downing two trees next to our garden. One of them did some damage.
Paul's corn was hurt the worst.
Grace picking a pepper.
The two huge trees.
Grace showing our damaged garden. (love the sad face)
Our broccoli crop. I have never grown broccoli so it took a bit of research to know how to harvest it. I have learned a lot and I think I would definitely try it again. So far I have made Beef N' Broccoli and Broccoli Cheese Soup with broccoli from our garden.

We spent a lot of time helping our friends pick up tree limbs. This picture just shows a few...they were everywhere!
