my, how the garden grows!

We were SO super-excited this week to pull our first carrots!  A little bit on the small side, but they are nice and straight, and so delicious.  AND, my goodness, purple and orange!!

Paired with the last of the peas, they made for a yummy lunch.

The garden is so glorious at the moment.  Flamboyant poppies and enormous showy cosmos…

…even springing up in the driveway!  A few little beans snuck themselves in amongst the peas too.

Silverbeet and sweet peas even look beautiful when they’ve gone to seed…

Inspired by our sweet little apples, Jasper planted a few apple seeds in a jar.  When we came inside from the garden an hour later, we had tears: “Why aren’t they growing?  I want an apple to take in my lunchbox tomorrow!”

The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58: 11
