Vegetable Garden

Neither Will or I had planned on putting a vegetable garden together, but with Will's incredible energy, a lot was accomplished. What was once a sad plot with some radishes and peas is a full-fledge vegetable garden today!

It began with this system Will built for the peas to climb up. If you thought that was impressive, behold what Will built to surround our small plot.

Currently there stands a nice threshold and the finished product of organized markers and troughs. It was tiring to spade-out the rows and plant seeds but we did it.

Our selection of vegetables was things that we love. We planted bell peppers, onions, green onions, fennel, heirloom tomatoes, butternut squash, carrots, more radishes, tri-color carrots, BEETS, and more cantaloupe. And we still have another plot to design!

To commemorate the moment, we ate the first product of our harvest: a radish!

Let me tell you, it was delicious. I always thought radishes were old-people food. The complexity of spiciness combined with earthiness is so uncannily delicious!

We really cannot wait to have a garden we can eat!
