A Giveaway and Harvests from the Garden!




Did i tell you, my favorite thing to do these days is picking beans in the garden?

We have two rows of bean plants. And every day, the plants yield this much.

The bean plants are very unforgiving though. Their leaves sting and my arms itch like crazy for awhile after. But the joy of picking the beans off the plants keeps me going. It's like an Easter egg hunt! Only much easier, and more bountiful!

This bean is the size of my palm!

Oh yes and then there are the snow peas.

They're a tricky bunch to pick. The snow peas are flat, so you don't see them until you move to a different angle. Then you wonder "It was right under my nose the whole time, how did I not see this one!" But I love the smell of the snow pea blooms, so picking the peas make me feel happy!

These cute carrots are super sweet and crunchy!

And our zucchini blooms are out!

Even our bearded dragons are enjoying the fresh veggies from the garden! I can't wait for the tomatoes!!

By the way, I'm doing a giveaway for my fellow blogger

  2. I've only seen skinny carrots because I shop at ntuc supermarket. If I were to see a fat carrot, I would not buy it because I think it's on steroid.

  8. How I love home grown zucchinis! Although being English I'm more likely to call them courgettes! My parents grow them and all I remember is being swamped by then - they grow so fast so quickly. Nothing beats peeling and popping your own home grown begs - I love popping peas!
