Our Garden



The Plot (12.5'x18' of dirt)

Last February we became members of the Pleasanton Community Garden Patch Program. I had never gardened before, but my husband had been itching to get his hands dirty for a long time. When we lived in San Francisco for 6 years, the idea of planting, growing, and harvesting our own food was a distant dream.

In April we began planting. . .yes WE. My official contribution to the garden was planting many of the transplants and seeds.

Tomatoes, cucumber, broccolini, herbs, peppers, sugar snap peas, beets, chard, leeks to name a few!






So far we've harvested tons of basil for pesto, kale, tomatoes, parsley, beets, and several HUGE cucumbers. Back Row: Tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, mini pumpkins. Middle Row: broccolini, herbs, peppers, sugar snap peas



Future kale chips!

By October we will have our own pumpkin patch

I hope I figure out what to do with these "edible" flowers and chamomile in time


 Having fresh vegetables from our very own garden has absolutely been an inspiration in the kitchen.
