Summer Garden 2016......


 Our garden this year wasn't very pretty, but it was amazing!! We've eaten from it all summer starting in April and are continuing to reap its harvest. There is nothing like eating the produce that you have grown, nor does anything taste better then straight from the garden.
We have had a ton of zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, cantaloupes and even grew a few watermelons this year.
Jacob was a huge help this year not only did he help pick the peaches but he helped to peel them
, make jam and bottle some peaches. He was able to earn the Family Life merit badge while helping me, that's a win-win. We have been enjoying eating the peach jam on toast,pancakes, sandwiches, anything we can put it on.

As per tradition we made our yearly strawberry jam, nothing beats homemade strawberry jam.
