I went to check out our garden tonight and we found a nice size beet ready for picking! It pulled up so nicely and tasted wonderful! It was great to be there with the kids from seed to stove. As I was cutting it up I could just see and hear how crisp the leaves were! We all got to try the raw beet bulb and leaves...they were good! My kids even liked them! After we cooked it it got even better! They were fighting for a bite of beets! It was great!
We have a couple of beets that look like they will be ready soon. Also our watermelon plants are getting HUGE and they have little watermelons all over them. If all of them make it we will have tons of watermelon. I was glad to see our Giant Pumpkin plant is finally starting to branch out so we might get some to grow.
It looks like all of the plants that we have growing are taking off. We started watering three times a day once it got to be 100+ degrees here in the Vegas Valley. I just do not know about our potato plants I hope we get a crop out of them. The leaves are all brown but the stocks are getting thick and that is where the potato forms so I hope it is going to work out.
We read the story of Cain and Able tonight and it talked about how God wanted Cain to bring him the best of his crops. So when we have our harvest we agreed that we are going to give God back the best of our crops. That was the right story for us to read tonight with a great lesson we were all able to learn. One more lesson from the garden.
