Love Me Some Veggies

Today I helped MOM in the garden.  I really enjoy being in the garden.  More than that I love to eat what is in and comes out of the garden.  MOM and I have a small garden at our home.  But we also have a really big garden at our church.  The Community Garden is where we where today.  This garden not only offers veggies to our church family but it also supplies hundred and hundreds of pounds of veggies to St. Anne's Homeless Center where MOM serves on the board and volunteers.  Let me show you how the garden is coming along.


I'm standing in the garden looking back at my church.

Here are just a FEW of the tomatoes.  There are about eight different varieties.

Here are some peppers.  Several different Bell peppers and all kinds of those hot types too.

These are squash.  I think there are four different types,

Onions.  I am not allowed to eat these.

Here we have some beans.

Look the corn is now taller than me.

You know lettuce is pretty soft to sit on.  Probably should wash it before we eat it.  hehheehe

Can ya see me way down there by the beans?

I'm checking out the ditch that supplies the water for the garden.  Raccoon's like to live in here and feast on the garden.  No coons today.  

A few of you asked me if I really do eat strawberries (from my last post).  Yep I sure do.  I even pick them myself.  The strawberries you saw me eating from are mine.  My MOM planted them in a big old pot just for me.  I can go out and eat whatever and whenever I want.  MOM is amazed that I only pick and eat the ripe ones.  Hope you enjoyed my little garden tour.  I sort of feel like Wyatt today.
Blessings,
Goose

  4. OMD OMD GOOSE that is a HOOOOOOOOGE church garden... HUGE... and so very well tended. I did not see ONE SINGLE WEED. WOW ! Wyatt would be as PROUD of you as I am.
    Ernie and I helped mom pick Sugar Snap Peas this evening... we only ate 7 of those each... and then after she put those in the Sink to get a "BAFF".. we went BACK and picked two rows of green beans.. and we LOST COUNT of how many of THOSE we ate... We LOVE Us Some VEGGIES too.
    AND we saw that our little blue berries are starting to turn... soooooooon, we hope.
    I love it that your mom planted strawberries JUST FUR YOU to pick. I wonder why it surprises her that you only eat the ripe ones? It does NOT surprise ME at all. I'm just sayin.

  5. Wow Goose, I knew your human had a big garden but I never figured it was that big. We are so glad your mom is on the board for St. Annes, cause we know she does so much for them. all the time.

    I missed our walk this week, but My Vickie says it is tooooo hot for her, yet there you were out there working hard in the heat in your garden.

    Mmmmmm

  6. Goose, Goose...I have a question. How do you do this all the time? Making me crack up with your jokes. You are just so smooth.

    I read your comment on Bert's blog and I was giggling loudly. So, I pop over to yours and upon seeing you sitting on the bed of lettuce, my stomach started shaking, again.

    Come over as often as you like :) Love your jokes.

  9. What a nice garden that is truly making a difference for those who really need it--The best kind of garden!!

    You know, our dogs only eat the ripe blackberries--I'll bet they could do the same thing with strawberries too!

    I hope you are enjoying your weekend and it's not all work in the garden! :-)

  19. Hi Goose, What a generous wonderful act of love for you and your mom to do as an outreach! I loved seeing all the different plants; our daughter's lettuce is done for the season-but it was plentiful. I know that the folks at St.Anne's are blessed by the work of your hands & paws. A very thoughtful thing for your mom to do by planting you some strawberries. Hunter doesn't like fruit at all, so filly because every other dog I've had loves fruit.
    Have a delightful day!

  20. What a fantastic garden! Mom says she would love to be there to help. We don't have a garden here, wonder why? Such a great community project. That is so nice of your church to do.

    Happy Sunday.

  21. Woo, Goose! I love strawberries! I especially love them in ICE CREAM!
    Your garden is really cool! My mom is thinking about growing foods next year - maybe. Kansas is so quirky ... and mom really hasn't grown much produce before. She has a lot of respect and admiration for those (like your MOM) who do!!!
    That lettuce looks good. Since your MOM is a pastor, she probably talks about it a lot, right? You know ... as in "Lettuce rejoice!"? Ha woo. I've been on a roll, ever since my "vamoose" joke.
    You didn't sit on the zucchini, though, did you? It's delicate and you wouldn't want to SQUASH it! Ha woooo. I just crack myself up sometimes.
    Have a great rest of the day, buddy! And stay cool!
    Luv,
    Dave

  23. Sorry Goose we are laughing at Dave's comment to you.
    WOW huge garden, how wonderful to be part of that project. We are so impressed that the strawberries are just for you, and that you get to eat them whenever you want, it's awesome!

  25. Great garden!! My mom needs to plant a garden, but I am afraid that the weeds might take over!! Yummy, the fresh strawberries sound good....maybe my mom could just plants some of those for me!!

  26. Goose, thank you for that very informative tour. I can't wait to see how the garden grows over the next few months. Do you have critter problems?? We had a garden and Mommy got frustrated cause the critters would get to the goods before she could. Good luck my pal.

  27. That is sure a beautiful garden. A old farmer friend once told me that the corn should be knee-high by the 4th of July around here (midwest)...lol. Looks like you corn is well on its way.

  28. Goose, you and your MOM are so thoughtful! The veggies look delicious and I'm sure the people who eat them can taste the love and kindness you put into growing them (after being washed, of course). I wonder what your favorite veggie in the garden is?

    Happy seeing (and growing) beautful!
