This Year's Garden

When we bought this house, we inherited 15 raised bed gardens, so we have a ton of veggies this year!

Here is a picture from our planting day back in May. As you can see, we also have pavers all around the gardens, which have caused us Josh quite the headache this summer! We have to figure out another option, or maybe we will have to pull them all up...we've Josh has been tossing around different ideas, but there is a bit of a weed issue and it's pretty hard to keep up with.
Wren helped us plant, but not before being slathered with sunblock. She wasn't necessarily happy about it...(I totally love her prissy hands in this picture): 
And she had a real issue with the sunhat! :) 
Here is the other side of the yard and the rest of the boxes. This picture is from the last week of June when we picked.

We have 2 types of peas, they are SO good! 
Corn:
Green beans: 
Here is a picture of the green beans (center) and the cucumbers (they'll climb up either side): 
Lots-o-tomatoes! (We have 12 tomato plants): 
Almost ready!! 
And here is our herb garden. Mainly, you can see that it is taken over by mint. Anybody up for a mojito?!
We have 12 or 16 different kinds of pepper plants: 
Wren was our little pea taste tester. She gave her (slobber) stamp of approval! 
We picked our first two carrots. They weren't quite ready, but we have several more yet to go. 
Other things not shown: okra, radishes, zucchini, turnips, kohlrabi, squash, and strawberries.
Next up, Wren's very own little garden!
