GARDEN

We planted our garden this year and took care of it the best we could, then we just kept our fingers crossed. Turns out we did something right and we are getting a ton of veggies. We have enough spaghetti squash to feed the neighborhood, even though one of our plants turned into what we are calling "squashkins." A cross between pumpkins and spaghetti squash, unfortunately not all that edible. This is our haul from picking our Garden after we hadn't picked it for a couple of days! We still have lots to learn, like how to keep the pumpkins from turning orange so soon! (this one was picked by accident.
I can't wait for the next couple weeks... hopefully the tomatoes will turn red, my hottest peppers will produce and our WATERMELON will be ready to eat! We got lucky and our watermelon are getting pretty big, we cut into one this week and unfortunately in still needed a few days on the vine, I can't wait until the next one!
