peas & carrots

After a few crazy rain & wind storms we thought our garden was done for, but we did manage to have some success in our first garden this summer!! Our corn & cucumbers left MUCH to be desired, but a few of my favorite things managed to survive! Jackobi loved to pull carrots straight from the ground, wash them off and snack on them. (I promise they weren't all as small as the one's in the picture above!! We actually ended up with some pretty decent sized carrots.)

Our other favorite treat has been peas. Oh how we love fresh peas!! This became our daily ritual. We'd pick a little bag full of peas & sit on the deck to shell them. I always had good intentions of using them for dinner or freezing some, but this girl LOVES fresh peas!! She could eat them just about as fast as we could shell them!!

After a couple of days she had a pretty good little system down for herself to shell her treat. :)
All in all, the garden was worth it!! Just for the shear excitement Jackobi got each day from cheking, watering, weeding and picking. She was sure a good little helper!
