Adventures in Box Gardening.

I had every intention of blogging and posting photos of our garden from the start of the gardening season to the end, but didn't.

So instead, I will share some of the photos I took at the different stages of our gardening adventures this year as well as some of our bountiful harvest.  We will save a lot of money not having to buy all of our fresh vegetables. :)

It looks like we will have a lot of zucchini and various kinds of tomatoes.  We should also have a decent crop of spaghetti squash and acorn squash. 

Our eggplant might be a bust again this year, but there is potential to get two or three as long as it stays on the warmer side this week.  Our cucumber wasn't great this year nor our peas.  We are hoping for a few more cucumber before we dig up the plants for the winter.

Our yellow summer squash haven't done well, but we only ended up planting only one of those plants for some reason and there is potential for more production depending on the weather the next couple of weeks.

Our peppers are a variety and some varieties are doing well but the Bell peppers might not produce before we are hit with colder weather.

We have harvested, blanched and frozen several quart sized Ziploc bags of zucchini already as well as eaten it fresh throughout the summer.  So overall, I think we will have a decent garden harvest this year.

Now if only the tomatoes would hurry up and ripen so we can pick them and can them or make them into sauce.  They have about a week to turn before we leave for a week vacation in MN.  Here's hoping.  Photos of our garden from the start to now will be posted on future posts.
