2010 harvest is almost here!

Hello! Thanks for checking out our Giant Garden Blog. Just a quick update:

Peas should be ready for picking in approximately two weeks. We're looking forward to this years' varieties. We have three for this year. 1. Shelling garden pea. 2. Snow Peas. 3. Stir fry variety. Yum, I can hardly wait!

For future planning most of the other crops are right on schedule for being late. This cool Spring hasn't helped in the garden planting. Sweet corn will likely begin around the middle of August, unless we get some really hot days to give the plants a boost. Green beans should be right behind the peas. We also have beets, several varieties of peppers, tomatoes (trying some new things to get them to ripen earlier this year) Cucumbers (not cooperating right now, so we'll have to see what that brings) and hopefully Strawberries. Another of my favorites...........yum!!

Look for us at the Rexburg Farmers' Market every Friday through October 15th. We've also got another pumpkin patch in the works, so don't miss that. More later, and pictures to go with it :)
