Summer?!

So I've read a few posts on a few blogs that I follow about how successful or not successful their summers were. I feel like we haven't even started ours yet. I could take two whole more months to play with my family. Again I have to admit that I am the worst at making sure the camera is catching what fun we are having but we did have fun and we did make memories. The summer was quiet and fun and laid back. Exactly how I love it to be. We did not make it out camping but we had other fun things that we did. I did learn that boy are just dirt with mud on them! Quite literally, here is Gage helping dig the potatoes last night.  I love his grubby little hands in the mud. He was trying to dig without a shovel. "Just let me do it Dad!" We ended up with about 40 lbs of potatoes and we dug our carrots as well, (don't ask) we figure we got about 15lbs of carrots as well! I'm very pleased with my garden this year. 

A little bit of our summer, mainly what's been keeping me busy.

I successfully grew cucumbers this year. I wish I lived somewhere hotter so they would grow faster. I get a cucumber about every 4 days or so. Not fast enough for our family.  My tomatoes did really well and I've harvested quite a few, but I must admit. I cheated because I bought plants that were already 3 feet tall, with fruit on them. But hey. As I become more confidant in my abilities to grow tomatoes I will grow more!!! Ahh, gardening. I love going out ever morning and checking on things. Seeing what needs to be harvested and watering and pruning and even the weeding!!
