Garden bounty

We have great plans for a veggie garden. We do! We really do! Unfortunately we are so very methodical (slow) in doing garden stuff that we don't have a lot to show for it at the moment. However, this past summer we did plant some tomatoes:




Look at that bounty! We didn't get a ton (we only had two plants) but hey, we could grow something other than weeds!
Also last summer we tried making our first batch of limoncello:




It's a wee bit potent, but it sure looks pretty. I'm hoping it will have mellowed out some more by the time summer comes around (cause everybody knows that summer = limoncello time!)
We have another batch brewing but we've managed to forget about it (ie. I've ignored it and Ben has forgotten about it) so it will be interesting to see how it compares when we finally filter it.
And finally, this winter we were given two snow pea plants, that have done quite well thus far.
Lesson learned: next winter if we plant 10 more plants we actually have enough to share!
Also, that's two, yep two! edible plants we have managed to grow and not kill. I would call that a rousing success.
