Our corn isn't quite as high as an elephants eye- but this is the best our corn has ever done! Maybe we are finally getting the hang of this gardening stuff. Our peas have come & gone & they were delish! We also planted tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, & cucumbers. Can't wait to see how they all turn out this year. 
Yes- this mess is also a garden on the other side of the house- and it drives me a little crazy! If it were up to me our gardens would all be in perfectly straight rows, labeled with type & variety. Ya know-somethig real Martha Stewart-ish. Most of you know how particular I can be :0) But since Danny does most the work I can't complain right? At least not to him ;0)
I recently found out how to make my own sun-dried tomatoes-YUM! I love sun-dried tomatoes, especially on sandwiches & in alfredo sauce. All you do is slice them into wedges, scoop out the pulpy seed part, layout on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then bake at 200 degress for 4 hours. Now the shocking part-all this came from one GIANT tomato! I wish I had taken a picture before I hacked it up-it was literally bigger than my whole hand-fingers spread open! Anyway- once baked & cooled you can even freeze small amounts in bags & only thaw what you need. Cool huh? I plan on canning most the other tomatoes but this is a great option for those early birds that are ready to harvest before all the rest.
The finished product-delish!
Before baking-they still look yummy!
YUMMY! Don't be too jealous but I know what we are having for dinner tonite! :0)

SO impressive!! We attempted to grow a garden this year- our beans didn't grow, but the other stuff is doing alright so far. Hopefully we can learn a little more each year. Your garden is gorgeous and I hear gardens in St. George are super tricky- way to go!!!
I can't believe you made all of those sun-dried tomatoes from one tomato either- yummy!!
LOVE the garden! My parents have one and my girls LOVE picking the tomatoes. Speaking of...yours look delicious!
I am sooo jealous!! Can't wait to be back in a house so we can have room for our own! Way to go Danny!
K, so I can't wait to make these. Yummy! Your garden is very impressive. How do you keep up on everything, I swear, you are wonder woman.
yummy...I'm very jealous of your garden!
OHHHHHHHHH I can vouch that their were lots of peas and delicious! Way to go on the corn! Can Danny talk to Mike about that?
Those sundried tomatoes do look yummy! I hope you found a good recipe to put them in. You're garden is probably bursting by now. There is nothing better than fresh tomatoes. I'm craving a tomato sandwich now.
Thank you Marv! THis is what I'm doing today.
