Gratitude Monday --The Veggies- In-Law

We've been eating garden veggies lately and they are wonderful.
Both my husband's parents grow gardens and they are very good about sharing the bounty with us.
Recently we've had new potatoes from his mom along with zucchini, onions, even cucumber.
His dad has given us tomatoes and lettuce and for the last several years he has provided us with beets and carrots. He has supplied us with potatoes almost year-round.
Further, he keeps chickens and has kept us in eggs for the past several years.
We grow a few things here, too, and I am grateful for it. We have spices mostly along with a few vegetables, but it is the produce from the in-laws' gardens for which I am grateful.

We need to raise our garden game significantly.

Gardens are the best, Chris.

Fresh veggies here as well. NO green beans as the ground hog took them all!

Sorry for your loss of green beans, Tabor.

Hooray for fresh veggies! Ours have to come from the farmer's market, but they are very good.

Messymimi, the important thing is they're fresh. Nothing, but nothing, beats them.

My lettuce did well, but my broccoli? Not a single floret! I'm still looking at those big healthy plants, three months in the ground, and going "What? What?"
