Gardening in the desert while raising two boys: This week in the garden

I picked a bunch of fresh veggies this week. I planted lots of lettuce and radishes not knowing if it all would grow and now I have so much I have been sending it home with anyone who stops by. I had know idea radishes only take three weeks to grow from seed to ready to pick. I have been eating a lot of salad needless to say. Still waiting on my tomatoes. I looked today and the seven plants that I have growing are loaded with tomatoes. I will probably have a ton of tomatoes all at once. I guess I will be doing a lot of canning. I picked a garlic just to see if it was ready and I think it could have gotten a little bigger. I will try again in a couple of weeks with the others. The watermelon is doing great and the boys can't wait to eat them. They ask everyday if it is time to pick them.
