The Garden's Bounty

Mom's garden is thriving, and today (despite the rain) I went out and harvested some of the bounty.
We got some yummy green beans, peppers, summer squash, onions, and a weird zucchini/squash type vegetable.

We proceeded to make 7 cans of the green beans, this is where I discovered  just how great of a kitchen helper Levi is. Levi and I also shredded and froze 16 cups of zucchini! Yum, we will have some zucchini bread this winter.



   More harvesting tomorrow - rain or shine!

Children of the Corn

Have you ever watched the old "horror" movies - The Children of the Corn?

I love them, however they give me a little un-easyness when it comes to children running around in the corn.

Levi, unbeknownst to him my fear, decided to scare me one day by running through the corn --- giggling & then jumping out to scare me.

It's all good though, at least he did it in the daylight!

Mom's Garden

As promised, here is my moms' garden:


Onions, broccoli, and lettuce:

Tomato plants (they are huge!!!)

Corn:

Beans:

And finally, the Zucchini that mom let me plant in her garden:

And a little Zucchini bud!

We had some of the broccoli this weekend, and it was so good. I love the fresh veggies!

Garden Update ~

Back in June I posted about Duncan's "mini-garden".

I wanted to post a quick pictorial update of the garden today:

The lettuce is doing okay, not great though.
The turnips (which I don't know why we planted them since none of us will eat them) are doing great!

The cucumbers are growing, just not very well:

















The pepper plants are doing well...the broccoli is not.

I will have to get a picture of my mom's garden. It is growing lush and green. She has my zucchini plants, which are doing GREAT!

Well, this year is the "experiment" year. And the summer isn't over yet, so we shall see.

The Goodness of a Sunny Day

Here is Duncan's "mini" garden. The big garden is next door at mom's & is where all the corn, beans, tomatoes, etc are planted. This year Duncan made this cute raised bed and decided to plant a few things.
