Goodbye amazing garden!

I loved, loved, LOVED our garden in Price! We had to move partway through the season so we didn't get all of our yummy produce. I hope that the next tenants who moved in enjoyed the fruits of our labor. This was the first year our garden didn't have to be uprooted at the end of the season. Like it did every year when we lived at the University Student Apartments. We went all out and put in a drip system (we of course put the drip system in before we knew we would be moving partway through the summer). I honestly wonder if that was the key to our success or if it was the soil. This is the first time our garden has ever done so well.

 Here is Tanner holding some of the first fruits of our labor. He loved tomatoes and asked every day if he could go pick the "matos" It was darling! It was really hard to hold him back until they were a really red and ripe. He also ate the cherry tomatoes faster than they came...haha...at least at the beginning. Eventually we started producing more than he could eat. It was like I would wash them, then put them in the fridge to cool, and he would take them out and eat them before they could get cold. Haha...I practically had to fight him off to enjoy of few of them myself. Silly boy!

 

This was our Anaheim pepper at the beginning. I was so impressed that it had like nine peppers on it. 

Little did I know....that by the end it would produce 50+ peppers! I didn't know you could get that many peppers from one plant. I decided to harvest and freeze them all at the same time.

 Here are two of the three watermelons we got from our watermelon plant.

Our cantaloupe went wild. We had over 12 growing....

 We had a few "Jack-O-Lantern" pumpkins and then some "We Be Little" Pumpkins.

These are the things we took with us when we moved...we left everything else behind :( 

 

Goodbye plants

Our tomato plants were so heavy the cages fell over. I was sad to leave so many green tomatoes.

You can't really tell in this picture but if you look closely you can see a few of the beef-stake tomatoes. We had at least 20 and we only got a handful before we had to leave. So sad!

We only took one of the three watermelons with us because I wasn't sure if it was ripe yet. We let it sit on the counter for a bit after the move, but it was great! So sweet and yummy! I wish we would have taken all three of them!
