One of the reasons we did not have a long spring trip this year was due to the mild winter and early spring.  We were able to get our garden in very early this year.  We started it in March and normally do not get it going until Easter. We love to grow a garden every year and one of the reasons we do not travel during the summer months ( othere than the heat ) Here are some pictures:

Overall garden


We have been picking strawberries for about three weeks now.  Diane made a strawberry pie this past weekend


We picked yellow squash yesterday for the first time this season.  Had squash for supper last night.


Tomatoes are growing good.


This is the first year that we have apples growing on one of our dwarf trees


And this is the second year for peaches.  Hopefully they will get a little bigger this year


We went to Walmart today and bought a pressure canner.  We plan on canning as much as we can this summer.  Our green beans will be coming in in a few weeks and the squash is coming in heavy right now.
