Garden Update

Cukes, Zukes, Tomatoes, Strawberries, Green Beans, Herbs!! The raspberry and blackberry bushes are growing nicely, and maybe maybe MAYBE we'll see a raspberry or two by the end of the season, but I'm not sure.
My poor lettuce is being eaten! I'll continue researching organic solutions for that today. Also, we'll be training the green beans now that they're getting taller and the tomato plants are higher than their cages already!

The boys and I love going out each morning to water and discover what is growing. Going to the supermarket to purchase fruit and veggies has taken on a whole new learning opportunity... where did the lettuce grow? Is it organic? Why can't we buy ___ now and why is there so much of ___ at the store?
Tonight we'll be using a bunch of our flat leaf parsley in a marinade for chicken and grilling in the backyard. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Oh, and if you have organic solutions for anything, please feel free to give advice!
