It Has Begun

Our cucumber plants are so prolific right now that we can't keep up, so we gave our neighbor a few on Saturday. Yesterday, Chris’ coworker brought him two tomatoes, and Chris took a cucumber donation to work today. This afternoon, another neighbor gave us some tomatoes and a cucumber from his garden. And just like that, the season of exchanging the overabundance of homegrown vegetables has begun. In the end, I’m not sure any of us will have fewer vegetables than we started out with, but we will have more friends. And isn’t that really the whole purpose of planting vegetables?
