First Fruit From the Garden

We decided to try a garden at K-Kountry this year.   It has been so fun to watch it grow and really to learn about something brand new.  We know there will be much trial and error to come, but so far it has been fascinating to watch things grow and really fun for the kamp.  Today was a big day as we picked our very first yellow squash and one green pepper.   My dream is to have many things that the campers can help pick, but we might have a long way to go for that.   Here are some beginning pictures and then some that I took today.  The zucchini is taking over, ha!

I love having fresh herbs. This is the before picture they are so much bigger now.

Our blueberry bushes did great.  We probably got about 150 blueberries this year.

We had a rabbit eat our potato plants to the ground.  I was so surprised when we dug them up to actually find potatoes.  They were small but really tender and yummy.

Ella took this picture with our first green pepper, I don’t even like green pepper, but it is so fun to grow them.
