Our Garden

This is the 4th year the we have had a garden.

The 1st year, we just helped Pappy Jack with his and picked what we wanted to.

The next summer I decided that I could plant, grow, eat, freeze, and use the veggies all winter.

It is work, but well worth the effort.

Meares Family Garden 2011

All of this isn't mine---just the first 3 rows

My mom and Pappy Jack (Darron's daddy) planted the rest

Squash

Cucumbers

Tomatoes

Mater Sandwich Tomatoes

They grow short and wide---perfect for slicing for tomato sandwiches

Bell Peppers

Garden Salsa Peppers---My favorite thing we planted this year!

Jalapenos

Green Beans (these little guys aren't doing so great in the heat)

Okra Okra

Cantaloupe

Jackson's Cantaloupe Patch

I told J if all his cantaloupes grew, he could have a Cantaloupe Stand

and sell them.

He scooped the insides out of a cantaloupe

and planted ALL OF THE SEEDS in one area.
