A vegetarian's dream

One of the things i love most about our new place in Alaska is the wonderful gardens that are on the property. Ma and Pa work really hard each spring to ensure that there are plenty of fruits and veggies to harvest. And what's even more impressive is that they start most of their crops from seed inside the house in early spring!! The kids absolutely LOVE being able to pick fresh crops and i am happy to report that there is no problem getting them to eat their vegetables now :) Their grandparents have even told them that next year they will each get a row in the garden to plant whatever their little hearts desire. who knew kids could be stoked on veggies!! here is a look at what the garden looked like this year:

basil
peppers

melons
tomatoes
potatoes

broccoli

peas

artichokes

rhubarb

beets

lettuce

strawberries
chard

brussel sprouts

carrots & parsnips

turnips

big turnips :)

cauliflower

cabbage

I'm so freakin' jealous! We are no where close to vegetarians in our house but we do love our veggies. Our dream is to have a large garden one day. I'm going to live vicariously through your blog, and hopefully a little container gardening on our small porch.:)
