These pictures are from the end of May. Dan made some raised beds before Anthony was born. In the far one are the perennial herbs - chives, mint, oregano, rosemary. The middle bed contains strawberries, which we won't harvest until next year. The near bed has rhubarb and asparagus. 
Above are the snow peas, which we have been eating lots of. Behind are some of the beans and off to the left is where the corn is. Both of those are coming up well. 
A few cherries on the little cherry tree!
Peaches growing on a tree planted by the first owners of our place. This is on the opposite side of the house from the garden.
And just look at this crazy peach tree growing on the slant. That is about a 45 degree angle!
Catherine is getting to be a big help in the garden. Once Daddy showed her how he wanted the watering done, she did a great job watering the newly planted pepper plants.
Daddy and his little helper, Joseph, till another small section for the squash and zucchini, as well as extra tomatoes and peppers. He ran out of room in the main garden, even though it is twice as big as last year's garden! If he tills it, he will fill it. Main garden currently holds: gourds, pumpkins, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumbers, corn, beans, snow peas, various kinds of peppers, onions, and several kinds of tomatoes.
There are also some herbs in pots closer to the house: cilantro, basil, and dill.

Wow! Kansas Dad would love to have such a garden, but he's still trying to focus his energy on the outbuilding.
Maybe next year!
Oh, but you'll be glad of a small garden with a baby coming in the middle of the summer!
You're probably right, though Kansas Dad has hopes of planing more in July for a fall harvest. As long as he's willing to help get it all put away for the winter! And he already does all the harvesting, unless he can convince the kids to help.
