This is the view from deck off the back of the house. That's my garage sale arch you see at the entrance. It cost me only $4. I'd like to try some wisteria there next year.
You can see hubby back there watering the peas. The peas are over five foot tall now. We'll see if any of them even make it to the kitchen. We usually pig out as we pick!
As you can see it's a family affair. Here, the kids are busy at work doing their weeding.
The potatoes are the big bushy plants that you see to the left. They should be ready for picking, eating and storing up for winter in only a few short weeks.
You can see the flowers on the potato plant below. They are really a very pretty plant!

Buddy is busy weeding the brussel sprouts. You can see the rhubarb above him. That's after we picked it and made 216 oz. of Rhubarb jam.
The girl is weeding out the spinach.
The oldest is thrilled. Can you tell??
As is the girl!!
Another view looking back towards the wooded part of our property. The three smaller beds you see belong to the kids. They are each growing a fruit or veggie of their choice. They chose Watermelon, Fairytale pumpkins and edible flowers.
Last, I just had to throw in this picture of our baby Cardinals. Hubby caught them venturing out of their nest yesterday. Aren't they so sweet.
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying summer!!

Hi Jen,
Such a beautiful veggie garden. I remember the days of the gigantic garden and all the canning that went with it. So much satisfaction! Now I have just three little raised beds. Great job you guys.
Smiles,

I didn't realize how much space you had. What a huge and awesome garden. I love the arch. I was out taking pictures of my potato flowers today to put on tomorrow's post. They are pretty.
Looks like you have lots of help.
Wow! That is the neatest and most well tended garden plot I have ever seen! I am very impressed!~ It is great that your kids will help in the garden, my daughter is 13 and although she will help (against her will)she does not enjoy it. I sure hope someday she will have my passion for gardening. Your site is lovely!
