So, we took those jalapeños and our tomatoes and some storebought onions and some green peppers and even yellow peppers from our garden and made and canned salsa!
Awesomeness in a jar.
It could have even used more jalapeños.

We received a generous donation of fresh jalapeños from a friend's garden.
So, we did this.
Yum!
Before
After!
Also today, we had some fun with homeschooling and Timothy was writing his words on balloons for our new curriculum we are trying (The Good and the Beautiful by Jenny Phillips) (we love it so far!)
And, what do kids that aren't doing homeschooling do? My graduate is playing with my camera.
And doodling. He does make awesome doodles, of faces, here, apparently.

Kids and their bugs. I told them any grasshoppers need to be taken far away from our garden.
The poor things are probably so terrified they'll never come near our garden again. Haha!
Liberty and a particularly brave grasshopper.
Oh, and later, Samuel received his Webelos award for Cub Scouts. Yay!

We cooked the squash with some onion, bell pepper, and the jalapeño. Spicy! But delicious. We love squash.
Here's cheeky Ginny with one of her favorite animals... er... many of that one kind. She makes a great elephant noise.

Garden produce!
We love squash.
We also got a little orange bell pepper (though we didn't plant orange, we planted yellow and red... hmmm.) Oh, and a jalapeño.
Oh, and farmer Samuel got sunburned weeding. More sunscreen!

Garden time!
We are still trying to weed this little plot of ours.
The weeds are growing better than the plants. It's a never ending battle.
However, we have our first harvest... yay!
Some other fun things... our yellow pepper...
Our jalapeño...
Cucumber flowers...even though some animal ate the tops off our plants!
Squash (or zucchini) flower... so exciting! I just forget which plant is which.
Random picture of Timothy.

Our garden is having ups and downs. The weeds are growing like crazy because between extreme heat and extreme weather we haven't weeded as much as we should have. Again. We had a weeding session today and we'll try again.
It really looks better than it did.
Deer, groundhogs, and squirrels of all things have eaten our sunflowers and the tops of the cucumber plants and bits of the green bean plants. We are researching ways to deter (and get rid of) them here in Kansas City limits.
We have lots of green, red and yellow peppers but I don't remember which plants are which and all the peppers are green at first! We have 3 or 4 jalapeños. Tiny ones.
We have ONE tomato but lots of tomato flowers. We have lots of renegade radishes that we never planted (this year).
It was good working with the kids.

After the ground was finally dry enough to till again, and it was not so hot the plants would burn, we finally got the garden in.
Can't you hear the choirs of angels singing?
Here's one of our helpers. She's an angel, too.

Our roses are going crazy! I know we need to trim this bush down, but isn't the color beautiful?

Tearing down our garden, we had a few overgrown plants. I guess the green beans we'd given up on finally produced... and this was just one of them!
