Our Family Garden Is Finally Planted

With all the activities going on around at our house this summer, I haven't had the time to get our garden planted. We were fortunate that we had a volunteer giant pumpkin come up on its own from last year, which helps out, since they usually take 120 days to produce these giant Prizewinner Pumpkins.

But today I planted the following:

- Celebrity Tomato
- Cherry Tomato
- Cucumber
- Egg Plant
- Giant Bell Pepper
- Cantaloupe/Melon
- Zucchini
- Normal size Pumpkin
- Radishes

It is going to be exciting to see how they do after being planted so late in the season. However, this is Southern California so the growing season is long and I think we should have a bountiful harvest this year.

Along with our new vegetables, we have our existing fruit trees:

- Navel Orange
- Tangelo
- Fuji Apple
- Haas Avocado
- Bacon Avocado

- Apricot
- Lime
- Lemon
- Peach
- Pink Grapefruit
- Two Kumquat trees

And don't forget our berries:

- Boysenberry
- Blue Berry

We have always had a garden in our backyard and it is great to be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables right from the garden. They taste so much better than the tastless stuff you buy in the stores.
