Photos - Our first tomato of the year!

Things are really cooking along here.  We picked our first ripe tomatoes and cucumbers and combined them with some onion, parsley, vinegar, and oil for an awesome salad.  It won't be long until we're packing up boxes of veggies for the market and La Minestra, maybe only another few days for the latter.  I suppose I should also mention that we made an addition to our family when Meridith recently gave birth to a healthy and happy baby boy.  So we've got a lot going on here at Medicine Gardens right now, and there's a lot of excitement about the future.

Here are some photos of our gardens:

Yes, apparently you can grow artichokes in SD.  We're considering growing these for sale next year.
