Fruity and delicious

The vegetables in the garden are beginning to fruit!

As of Sunday morning, I saw what look like the beginnings of acorn squash, green beans and melons. This is no small feat.

The culmination of months of digging, weeding, re-weeding, tossing kitchen waste into the garden bed, more money than I'm willing to admit in seeds that have and have not germinated, and a complete sense of satisfaction when I harvest the fruits of my labor.

I cannot wait to gather those beans, roast that squash, and carve up those melons.

Of course, there is just as much excitement in seeing the first flowers of the tomatoes, and tomatillos. In seeing the zucchinis begin to blossom. In witnessing new seedlings emerge from the dirt.

My garden lifts my heart with each new discovery. Can't wait to see what happens in there tomorrow!
