our first harvest

i think i've shared with you before how gardening has become my therapy. there is something therapeutic about digging in the dirt. honestly i don't think i would know what to do if didn't have our garden to get lost in. to get up in the morning and tend to it is just so comforting to me. it just gives me such a sense of pride and accomplishment when the "fruits of our labor" appear. well, we finally have our first harvest of the season...squash! talk about excitement! to me nothing taste better than the vegetables out of our garden and what did i make the with the squash? my mom's recipe for squash casserole. yummy!

our very first crop

here is a picture of our very first crop from the garden....two squash and one green pepper:


i guess you gotta start somewhere, uh? it's so exciting because we have squash, zucchini, green peppers, cherry tomatoes and tomatoes growing right in our very own backyard. i'm really enjoying myself and have even started thinking about next year's garden. who would have thunk it, me and a vegetable garden?
