First Harvest

We picked our first produce from the garden today (not including herbs). I thought Cameron might actually take a teeny tiny bite of the veggies he helped plant, so I had him do the honors of picking the first produce.
He was so excited to grab these 2 cucumbers. And he wanted to pick the other 3 that are equally as large. In fact, he wanted to  pick the green tomatoes & the whole oregano plant. Anyway, we peeled and sliced these cucumbers together. And he wouldn't take a stinkin' bite of them! His work was done and those green things weren't getting anywhere near his mouth. EVER!

So, maybe we'll try again when the tomatoes ripen. Afterall, we've got lots of veggie options growing in the back yard. 

I forgot to mention that we've watered our garden only with rain water, collected in the 250 and 100 gallon rain barrels.

 Dave hooked up these bad boys to the gutters and cut a hose to length.
 One in the front, and one in the back!

 Check out this little frog that is protecting the garden from insects!
