A Little Garden Produce

Before we left for Colorado, I picked all the garden things we could pick.  The beets weren't very big, but I picked them and cooked them.  I pickled them and put them into a pint jar.  Those that wouldn't fit we had for supper.  We had all the beans that were ready from the last several days, it was just enough to go around, they were delicious.  Cucumbers from JD and Soni's garden were good and ripe, as well as their tomatoes.  They were delicious.  Our carrots looked more like large toothpicks.  Most of those got eaten by something in the night.  The peas we planted were a favorite of rabbits I think, (were) being the key word there.  The corn got a late start, and the deer munched on it.  They are doing ok now, and the tassels are showing, but we now have a ban on watering them and no outside water used on anything besides animals.  Anyway that is the extent of our garden produce for now.  Our tomatoes got a late start as well as the corn, but should yeild some nice tomatoes for whoever goes and picks them.  Our peach trees gave us about 2, 2 gallon buckets full.  They are very small and kind of wormy, but next year we will be more prepared and get them sprayed on time.  The apple trees are very full and there are 6 or 7 trees to be picked.
