Garden update

We got back to town and had a tropical rain forest growing in our back yard! It had rained here the whole time we were gone and our garden was out of control! I meant to get a before picture, but Matt woke up early one morning and hacked away at too much of it. But here are some pictures from the work party.




Christian is such a big boy! Can you believe he's already mowing lawns! Oh and I did some yard work too, but the photographer never gets pictures taken of her. Sigh.


Now our garden, and whole yard look great!

















And we finally reaped some of the rewards! Yesterday, while I was chauffeuring kids around, Matt went out and picked some of our veggies. We had super fresh salad with basil and turnips. And fresh corn on the cob! Yummo!




The weeding was kinda tough, but we had fun watching everything grow so quickly and the veggies were so good!

We are living in Clovis, NM! Small, very rural town, what are the odds, right?! Matt is actually starting work today in Sacramento and we'll be following whenever our house sells. I told Matt to check out your blog, so I'm sure he'll be commenting. :)
