Our Garden

Russell does a great job with our garden each year. He loves to do a vegetable garden and it is so great to have fresh produce each summer and fall. Last year's garden was such a great success! We got SO MUCH yummy corn, tons of green beans (which I learned how to can last year), and we made a lot of freezer salsa!

It's crazy how every year is different, though. This year (2017), the garden has not been so prolific. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise since I don't feel much like canning and dealing with produce this year! (I am due to have our fifth baby in 2 weeks.)

Here are some pictures from last year (2016).

One morning, Bennett and I had a great time peeling tons of corn! It was so delicious!

Pretty crazy though how so many ears of corn only produce a small bag of actual corn. We did eat some of it, but  then froze what was left.
