We have both been fortunate enough to come from gardening families and were excited to put all the skills we learned to the test. Anyway, here are some pictures to give an update on our garden.
Our garden is producing so many cucumbers, it is great to be able to give away produce to friends, and if anyone wants to give us a canner we could even try our hand at making pickles.
In Nevada, we never managed to grow carrots very well, I'm not sure why that was, but we are certainly doing great with these carrots.
We will be picking our first watermelon very soon, it will be great.
Our peppers are doing great.
Our tomato plants have grown a lot but haven't produced as much as we thought they would, we will get a good amount eventually but they seem a little behind on the production.
We didn't plant the rhubarb, but has really grown a lot.
The watermelon and pumpkins we planted have really grown out of control, we even have the pumpkin plant invading our neighbors yard (although I don't think they've noticed).
Our complete garden, we have plans to expand the garden size and improve the watering system for next year, hopefully we can double the production.Cheers,
Not everything was a success, here is where we planted one of our tomatoes, but it didn't make it.

That looks awesome.
I wish I had an extra canner to give you.
Sorry.

Me and Carrie have tried several gardens, and we still haven't had a garden that nice. Good Job and congrats on parenthood. Tell Liam that Jiles is ready to play.

What a garden!
nice job guys! Jamon- that picture of you with the carrot is funny!
I am very jealous of your watermelon! In the 5 or 6 years I tried watermelons they never worked. They never "took off" like that, and the watermelons ended up being the size of a baseball by the time the first frost hit. (which is about mid September here in crazy weather Nevada). I finally gave up on them and have not even planted them for years.
Don't worry about your tomatoes, I don't even have one green one yet. In fact the only thing I did for a garden this year was 3 tomatoes, and 3 peppers (my salsa garden) and the only thing that is anywhere near harvesting is one pepper.
However, you know the main focus was the huge field of pumpkins and they are doing great so far, so I am very thankful and won't complain too much about the other things.
