Winter Gardening Pays Off (Saturday, March 31st, 2018)

We have enjoyed our garden throughout the winter, harvesting tomatoes, chives and jalapenos as they ripened, but as the weather is heating up, the garden is really taking off!  

If I counted right, this little jalapeno plant has 29 peppers on it!

The tomatoes are going crazy too!  We have about 3 ripening each day right now. They are really tasty!

It's so much fun to see a garden do so well in the desert!  

Homegrown Tomatoes in February (Thursday, February 15th, 2017)

I still can't get used to gardening in Arizona.  Gardening in the winter instead of the summer is crazy, and the plants actually produce.  I planted my tomatoes last October, and they have been slowly producing little tomatoes all winter, but now that the weather is warming up a little bit, they are really taking off.

I have two plants, both in pots, and they are both doing great!

These are the tomatoes that I picked after we returned from our dune trip.  

I am so excited to have home grown tomatoes, especially in February!

Fall is in the Air (Tuesday, October 6th, 2015)

As we left Colorado once again, fall was definitely in the air. Our garden was full of beautiful vegetables that had come on in the last few weeks, and we couldn't bear to leave them all behind, so we packed our selves a little care package.  We really weren't quite sure how to get the package
 through airport security, so we decided a checked bag would be our safest bet.  

We had a great flight from Colorado to Las Vegas, but the best part was seeing the progression of fall through the Colorado Rockies, and out into the desert.

The snow capped mountains as we got further west

And Lake Meade as we approach Las Vegas

And when we finally made it to Arizona and unpacked our bag, we had this waiting for us after a 1,000 mile flight, not bad! 

Tomatoes and jalapeños from our garden in Colorado

We are looking forward to enjoying these delicious little treats during our desert stay!  It feels good to be back in Lake Havasu City!
