First Harvest from the Garden

So, we planted stuff in our garden about 2 months ago and we started picking our first vegetables (one yellow squash and one green zuchini) about a week ago. We have since pulled about ten or so more of these goodies out of our garden. It's fun to go look at it each evening and see the growth going on out there. There were some times where we didn't ever think we were going to get anything out of this garden as it was slow to get going and we weren't sure if the stuff was getting enough water (as we were both unfamiliar with the needs of plants in this climate). Mary had a great couple from our ward come over during the day and give us some great tips and ideas, and since then things have gone pretty well. Our beans are growing slowly and the butternut and spaghetti squash should be appearing in the next month or so. We have little canteloupes about the size of a softball right now, our tomatoes are struggling and we're hoping to have some peppers to pick in a month or so. Anyway, we're enjoying this part of the gardening process: picking the vegetables! Here are some pictures
