Nik has become a really accomplished gardener over the past few years.  He has taken on the job of tending the garden and we eat the fruits of his hard work every day.

For example, he sowed two succession plantings of radishes in the spring and we ate radishes for at least a month.

Aren’t they beautiful?

Now we are over-run (in a good way) with tomatoes, cucumbers, Swiss chard, and peppers and are anticipating a bumper green bean crop as well.

I am grateful for Nik’s analytical mind, which has taken on gardening as a code to be cracked as well as a fine art to be learned.  We certainly aren’t perfect gardeners yet (who is, really?) but we’ve come a long way since we started our garden four summers ago.  Here’s to many more years of gardening and good eating!
