A Green Thumb

This is the first year we have attempted a garden. We've never bothered before because the deer eat everything in sight. However, this year Ben put a huge wire fence around the whole thing and the good news is the deer haven't eaten the garden yet. The bad news is bugs have. We still have been able to keep them growing, but boy are gardens a ton of work. This is why I stuck to planting a flower garden and Ben is in charge of the vegetables. He planted cucumber, zucchini, squash, green beans, cherry tomatoes, and roma tomatoes. So far we've had one cherry tomato ripe enough to eat. We had the ceremonial tasting of said tomato and I'm really excited for the rest to come in.

Beautiful! I have to say, I'm a little jealous of your zucchini plants. Ours have struggled this year.
