Another month has pasted us by and brings us to the 21st where we show off what we are harvesting in our gardens. This month the tour lands on a Thursday which means it's also Thriving Thursday and KinderGARDEN update day as well. So today's post will contain a portion of each as today they all happen to work together. See Aiden's Cucumber plant is Thriving to the point of harvest.
Granted it's a little odd shaped but ready it was.
At least according to Aiden it was. He looks so cute trying to look at it. But look out and look close he is armed with scissors.
One curly prickly cucumber coming up.
This is the inspection face. But look out don't tell him it's funny looking he is still armed and 4 years old.
Aiden picked his 1st cucumber so Shannon said she must pick hers as well. Shannon's 1st cucumber was not even half the size of Aiden's but like him she declared it ready to pick. As there are over 90 days left of the growing season and more buds ready to bloom who am I to tell her she can't pick it.
So now it's time to watch out for the armed 8 year old.
And this would be Shannon's inspection face....I think. But again be warned any bad statements about her cucumber could be detrimental to your health as she is also still armed.
So on to the non kid plants that are Thriving this Thursday and also Harvesting this month. The second round of peas is beginning to ripen this season
Sage is also growing quite well and needed to be harvested. Just look at those leaves.
And last but not least on my list of Thriving Harvesting plants this Thursday is one of my favorite herbs Pesto Basil. Even if I didn't like the smell or the flavor of this herb I think I would grow it anyways for the beauty of the leaves.
So
The Inadvertent Farmer hosts the weekly KinderGARDEN updates so head over there and see who else is gardening with their kids and what they have been up too.

it's hard to wait when your brother's picking *his* cucumbers already. :)
ReplyDeletevery pretty pesto basil!
look at all that sage! How lovely! I tried growing it once, but with no success. What do you use it for?
ReplyDeleteYay for cukes! We're still waiting for ours.....they are a favorite around here. And isn't it great that they are ready to be picked when you are ready to pick them? Like 'em big, like 'em small, it doesn't matter!
We have a garden area for our daughter too and she is so proud to show it to her friends. Good idea that they have their own.
ReplyDeleteThose look like mighty fine cucumbers :) Your basil is beautiful - I am jealous, as mine is still just barely sprouting...
ReplyDeleteThey do look proud. Your basil is gorgeous. Another few weeks and I'll be harvesting buckets of mine too.
