Kitchen garden update and harvest

This is the time of the year that my kitchen garden goes bonkers and is giving me more than I can handle. I do feel incredibly blessed to have a prolific garden and that I get to savor fresh fruit and vegetables. Well there more hard work that goes into growing organic vegetables than one can imagine. It is frustrating to keep fighting bugs and pests. When I get to harvest these incredible array of vegetables, I forget all that hard work and feel very wealthy.
