Sunday Harvest

This week's is probably the most diverse harvest of the year so far. Here's the list.

*2 delicious cucumbers
*Carrots
*Kale
*Green beans
*Sad little broccoli florets

I'm totally checking off "grow a decent cucumber" from my homesteading (not quite) hundred list!

p.s. We've got some kabocha coming....
