Five weeks ago, when we arrived here, the vegetable garden was going well. All summer, we’ve made a fresh salad with dinner after trekking to the garden to pick lettuce. We’ve been able to deliver bags of lettuce to friends on the lake and we’ve had neighbors stop by to take more when they’ve wanted it. The garden has overfloweth.

And the garden as of last night
As if a home garden was not enough, my parents bought a 375 acre farm nearby the cottage a couple weeks ago. That will surely be a wonderful place to watch things grow over the many years ahead.
If anyone is interested, I can take you on a virtual tour of the fabulous farm, led by my 5 year old soon.
serious, 375 acre farm? what do they plan to do? that is awesome.

I was hoping you’d share photos of the veg garden – I just didn’t expect to see so much growth so soon! I’m hungry just looking at it. Eating homegrown strawberries makes me smugly happy; this would make me feel like Mrs walton!
But a farm…wow! Do you feel a whole new blog coming on?

Wowza. Very nice.
This has been a very strange year for Zone 6 gardeners. My successes thus far: Cucumbers, lettuce, string beans and tomatoes lookin’ good (and green). Possible failures: bell peppers, potatoes savaged by slugs.

375 acres!! Wow! Are they planning on farming it?
Your garden looks great! I wish my lettuce would look like that but I guess it’s just been too hot here!

Wow, this is amazing! You’re so lucky! We’ve been living in an apartment for years now & I miss gardening so much.

That is an awesome garden and to be able to bless others is even better.
