Our Harvest



Brady is proudly displaying our latest harvest-green beans. We have had a good crop so far. He has been our bean picker as bending down these days is not the easiest of moves for me! Brady planted our second round of lettuce this past weekend and we're also hoping to put out some spinach. He distributed some mighty fine compost on the new lettuce bed from the composter-we're slowly learning the tricks of getting the right combo of greens and browns for the compost. We also made a rain barrel this summer at the BR Farmers' Market-so we've been watering the garden with rain saved in the barrel which has been fun. We've been talking about expanding our garden to the front yard next year for better sunlight exposure but don't want to give up the volleyball court...

We'll let you use our yard for volleyball, if you let us plant in your garden! :)

Those beans look so yummy! Great job on getting the 2nd round of salad greens out too. I bet you could extend into the front/side yard without losing the volleyball net...
