Kitchen Garden

We were out looking at the progress of our kitchen garden last night and noticed things were coming along nicely. Our first tomatoes of the season have started to ripen. Danielle started all our tomatoes from seeds inside the house, a first for us, so it is nice to see them doing well. Gold Nuggets, our first to ripen, are about the size of a cherry tomato but are this cool gold color (hence the name) when ripe.



They were delicious right off the vine, and although we picked probably twenty or so, Sam made sure that none of them made it into the house.



Some raspberries were also ripe, although Danielle and I ate them ourselves and didn't share any with the kids.



The lettuce, broccoli, and onions continue to do well. We are hoping to have some pole beans to harvest soon as well as more tomato varieties.
