Gonzalez Gardens

Flo's dad plants a garden every summer that always produces the hottest peppers, the juiciest tomatoes and the most perfect potatoes. Among several other things. So this year we decided to give it a try. We planted tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, basil, parsley, and cherry tomatoes. We started the garden in May and here it is in July:


We have had some luck with it. The cucumbers have done the best. Every once in awhile we get a tomato. The basil is flourishing and the cilantro was good while it lasted. It's a lot of fun checking the garden everyday to see what's growing. Plus the produce tastes so amazingly fresh.


We were very excited to find all these cucumbers in the garden when we got home from Oklahoma. The cucumbers have defiantly been our biggest success. We are averaging about a cucumber a day, sometimes two. They are so yum!


We are very proud of our petite garden, but it is nothing compared to the grow masters. This is Papa Gonzalez's SUPER garden. He grows just about everything in there. Next year we are going to expand and maybe someday ours will live up the master's.
