Gardening fever!

On June 10th, we were trying to make goals for food storage and thinking of what things we could plant that would help us in the future.  We decided that since we have quite a bit of space for a garden to fill it up.  And if heaven forbid we have too much, well then we can share with our friends, family, or neighbors.  We ended up buying and planting a lot of new plants.  I cannot wait for them to produce yummy food.  Here are the things we planted this year in our garden.

The garden doesn't look that spectacular because we haven't had a lot of time to weed it due to our construction zone in our house.  This is a picture of the whole garden.
 We added three fruit trees to our garden this year.  This is our peach tree.
 Golden Delicious Apple tree.
 Bartlett Pear tree
 This may be kind of hard to see with all the weeds, but there are two tomato plants.
 Yumalicious watermelon
 Butternut Squash.  We also have a Pink Jumbo Banana Squash, but apparently I forgot to take a picture of it.
 Carrots!
 Cantaloupe!  My fave!
 Beets.  I'm not a big fan of them, but Brian and Tali are.
 We have three types of peppers: a regular green bell pepper, a sweet bell pepper, and a yellow bell pepper.  Mmmm!  I can't wait to make stuffed peppers!  Funny thing is, I used to hate eating peppers.
 Cabbage
 Of course, what would a garden be without ZUCCHINI!? 
 We decided to combine our blueberries and strawberries.  Mmmmm!  I can't wait!
 And last, our raspberries!

Hands down, this is my favorite time of year.  I LOVE to garden (when it's not scorching hot)!  This year to help with the heat, my hubby bought an umbrella for when I'm gardening.  Now I just need to make the time for it.  :)
