I would gladly share our bounty with all of you!

Yesterday we took stock of our garden and wound up harvesting tons of Swiss card, quite a few yellow squash, carrots, green beans and a few tomatoes. This morning we took a closer look at one tomato plant and found several decent 'maters hiding within the vines.
My husband took a bag with chard, squash and carrots to the neighbor - they can probably eat for three days with what he gave them! It's nice that the garden produces so well that we can share. It is also wonderful that we have an outdoor sink so the 'dirt' stays outside!
If 'you' lived closer I would share with you!

@AbbyGreenhill How about giving some of the veggies to the food pantries?

@marlina There isn't enough to do that and there aren't any close by.

I could cook and freeze more stuff, but the freezer is still loaded with last year's veggies!

He does lots of little things for us, things my husband can't do alone, so it works out.

@miniam yes when we ask him to do a big job we pay him, but little jobs get rewarded with veggies!

@AbbyGreenhill Well if your email is too rough then maybe it may be safer to fax them.

The sink is useful but they put in such a tiny one that sometimes it isn't useful at all. But it's all tile work around it so we can't even upgrade it.

@AbbyGreenhill Ours is a good size stainless steel one with hot and cold taps so it gets a lot of use.

It is a nice thing to be able to have such a bountiful garden that you can share it with the neighbors.
