It's been too long since I've written an update of our garden.  We were lucky to have lots of rain while we were away, the garden was just thriving when we got back.  Everything got huge!  Our peas, basil and tomatoes have grown so tall.  The carrots are looking more promising.  The parsnips are officially dead - well, I don't think they sprouted.  We planted two corns for fun, and they're about a foot and a half tall, I don't think we'll get any corn, though.  We were very happy to find the raspberries just about ready for picking.



We've been picking the sweet peas and raspberries daily, I don't think any of them made their way back to the kitchen.  I've never had fresh sweet peas before - it's fun to pick them and eat the peas right out of the pod.  I had plans to make some raspberry tarts, but we haven't been able to save them from Ella yet.



Here are some pictures from our garden.

The tomatoes plants are looking wild.  They are starting to flower.  I can't wait for fresh tomatoes.

We've harvested some basil for pesto already.  

The peas look so overgrown.
