The first cucumber in Maria’s Three Sisters Garden emerged this morning, growing on the outside of the pasture fence (hope the pony doesn’t see it), it is a beautiful and exciting thing to see. Some of the corn is over my head and there are two pumpkins growing rapidly. We snack on the stringbeans almost every morning. There is something magical about growing your own food, this is a first for me.
