..The Fruits of Your Labours

This, my friends, is our vegetable garden!

Never have I ever planted my own garden before, or even knew how to nurture it so that it would grow! But, I must have done something right because boy did it grow! I took this picture about a week ago so the garden isn't quite this pretty anymore but we got our fair share out of it.

Note: Dale's beautiful legs

This is how over flowing our hugest bowl was of green beans! I think we could handle it if this was all that our precious garden gave us. But nope, this is the second huge, overflowing bowl of green beans we've gotten!

I just had to take a picture looking down at our bowl so you can get an idea of how big this bowl really is. Think of a big beach ball and now imagine it full of green beans. That's roughly the size.

Needless to say I am so thrilled that I've been able to learn a skill that I could likely take with me everywhere I go! Plus, After the hours spent washing, cutting, boiling, and blanching, I've now got a freezer full of green beans! Seriously, we froze 10+ freezer bags of very generous portion sizes.

Send me a shout if you love green beans as much as I do and I'll be more than happy to share!
