I currently have uploaded all of my photos online that I have taken during the 2007 gardening season.  I have taken photos from the spring time to the present.  You will be able to see my husband’s and my progress in the garden, including some of the canning that we both have recently completed.  This year, we grew roma, beef steak, and Better boy tomatoes; jalapeño, chili, bell, Anaheim, banana and Habanero peppers; cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and broccoli; Sugar Snap peas, carrots, and radishes; spinach, Romaine, Black Seeded and leaf lettuce; red and white onions, green beans, okra, and corn; cucumbers, summer, and zucchini squash; pumpkin, water melon, and cantaloupe.  Of my entire garden, the only vegetables that did not produce, due to insects were the brussel sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli.  We did have only one head of broccoli and that is all.  Otherwise, our garden was truly blessed by the Lord.  Our neighbor’s gardens were blessed, as well.  This year has been a great year for planting and harvesting!   Please feel free to take a look at all my 2007 Garden Photos and enjoy what I have enjoyed this year! 
 

P.S.  As I finish my canning season, I may add a few more photos of the vegetables and fruits that I can during the 2007 Gardening Season!

Blessings given and received!

I have been truly blessed this year by all the vegetables that we have harvested out of our garden, that we have had plenty to share with family and friends!  Also our family and friends have shared with us out of their gardens, as well.  They have given us things like yellow squash of which I thought I had raised, but found it out that it was summer squash in stead, yellow sweet corn, of which we bought but for a very inexpensive price; cucumbers, zucchini and more!  I truly believe in the Scripture that says "it is more blessed to give than to receive" and when you give you will receive more in abundance than you have given out!  The Word of God says, "give and it shall be given you, good measured, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will men give unto your bosom."   In the Old Testament it also speaks of giving away the first fruits of your garden,  to the storehouse, which would be the church that you attend!  If you want to see your garden prosper try giving some of your veggies away!
