Garden fun

I just have to show off our garden this year.  We are very excited about it.  In our big box we have green beans, corn, and lots of squash (zucchini, yellow squash, Hungarian squash--it's supposed to be a blue color, cucumbers, and pumpkins).  The squash doubled in size while we were out of town.  There is also one small tomato plant, with very small tomatoes which are super good.  The first one was sampled yesterday.

The other box we have contain broccoli which is very tall but not producing yet (we might have missed the window on that one) and bigger tomatoes. 

One box we didn't take a picture of had our peas in it.  This year was not a good year for peas, it got too hot too early.  It now contains two pepper plants and three more cucumber plants that Justin bought recently.  They are all surviving.  Two more pepper plants are out in the yard as well.  And Hannah is growing her own garden of sunflowers in the very back of the yard.  She even waters them periodically.

Here's to more success from the garden!

Ok, that is one great garden! Mine is growing a lot of weeds and a few tomatoes, so I am just a tad jealous!

Holy Cow! Great Garden! That reminds me, I should probably actually water my little potted plants on our balcony.
