How I Became Shared Jelly

When my husband and I first got married we used to get messages on our answering machine for "Shared" and "Jelly" instead of Jared and Shelly. The first time we chuckled a little over it and by the fourth or fifth time, we decided the name should stick somewhere. And so, I've been sharing jelly all over the internet since. Enjoy!

Vegetables From Our Very Own Garden!

These are my first vegetables from our garden this year. My peppers are bigger than I thought they'd be.

I know this is probably not as exciting for everyone else, but I've never had a garden actually grow this well before.  We maybe get a yield of one or two vegetables in the past.  This time my garden is not only not dead, but is flourishing and overgrowing the small area I put it in. There are dozens of vegetables getting ready to be picked.

My tomato plant is so big, it's falling over in its cage, full of tomatoes waiting to ripen.  I've had to cut my zucchini plant back so that it doesn't overrun the peppers. I had no idea it could get so big.

Here are my peas that I thought were destined for failure and they are blooming and everything.

I either need more space or less plants next time.  I'm so excited to keep planting.

That is so awesome! I am still waiting for my bell peppers to grow! I keep getting blooms but nothing is growing yet, and it's been at least 4 months. I wonder if any bugs are eating them. Your garden is great!

this is very impressive! we planted a few flowers in our little patch of land and thought for sure one wasn't going to make it ... but its back and thriving! it really is exciting!
