Veggies from the garden

Here in the Ozarks, about the only thing we grow naturally is rocks - and lots of 'em.  Luckily, the previous owners of our home built raised garden beds in the backyard which we've enjoyed planting in every summer for the past few years.

Grandpa is the chief gardener and comes over several times a week to tend the crop. The kids enjoy working with him and are especially excited when the first radishes start peeking through the dirt.  The fun has begun the last week or so, when we get to go out to the garden in the late afternoon and see what we can pick for dinner.  So far we've enjoyed radishes, green beans (green beans fresh from the garden-YUM!), a few beets, swiss chard, cucumbers, zucchini, squash and the tomatoes are just starting to turn.  The kids say there's nothing better than eating food that's traveled hundreds of inches from the garden to your table!
