Zucchini & Tomatoes...
(Scraggly) Corn & Watermelons...
June 20, 2009-First Fruits
(BTW, that last shot is staged. Kate and Will are NOT that happy about squash and zucchini.)
I have to say it, I am enjoying gardening way more than I thought I would. Granted, I didn't till the soil, I didn't set up the fence, and I didn't even plant most of the plants. But I do get out there most days to pull weeds, pinch suckers off of tomatoes, and generally keep the pumpkin from taking over the whole thing. I like to either get out there before 10am or after dinnertime, and it is like I am in my own little world, where the only thing that matters are things like whether the zucchini is producing as much as it should, and what I am going to do with 10 million yellow squash. I have enjoyed seeing how God's creation works first hand.
I compiled the pictures we have taken since April, and I cannot believe how much the garden has changed. The abundance is unbelievable. Every time I say, "I can't believe how big the tomatoes are!", they get even bigger. (Of course, whether they will ever ripen or not is another thing altogether.) So, I thought I would show you how my garden is growing.

Oh, sweet lady, when you really start to wonder what to do with that yellow squash, give me a call! That is probably my favorite garden vegetable. Your garden looks fantastic!
