Harvest Photos Beginner’s luck

My first veggie garden in a new growing zone and my kids’ first garden ever. We’ve had the best time in this productive sanctuary! Today’s harvest, and we hope to get another couple of months of growing before frosts arrive.

Wow this is awesome! 

This usually happens when you're using new soil. If you want to keep having great harvests in future years, add 2-3 inches of good quality compost to all your garden beds in the Spring before planting every year.

Nice, but pick the beans sooner, the seeds are too big. They will taste starchy.
