Our humble garden.....





This is our garden this year- last year we didn't really know what we were doing, and we planted WAY too much stuff- half of it didn't grow because there wasn't room. So this year we stuck with a simple plan and did tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.... the crazy purple flowers you see are called "elephant's head" and you can actually use the seeds after they die- you can grind them up and cook it like oatmeal- very good for you- it's called amaranth. So, the tomatoes are going nuts- wish I could send you all some- they taste sooooo good- I eat them just like my dad- sliced up with a little salt and pepper on top!
