Garden

So, Jake you asked about our garden and it sent me on a photo shoot. When we first planted everything, it was so small and frail looking I didn't think much would survive. Man, was I wrong!


So, here is a picture of our harvest of jalapeno that was just picked today, we have had several batches of these, but they're not hot at all
These are our banana peppers, we have had even more of these.
Cucumbers, what can I say? Way, way, way too many! These were picked today.These were picked a couple of days ago, see way to many!


Here's some of our zucchini. We have had a lot of these, but not as many as the cucumbers.


Most of our tomatoes are still green, but these ones are getting there.


We have a ton of tomatoes.


Here is one of our five cantaloupe! They are pretty small. I'm hoping they will ripen soon.


Here is our black diamond watermelon. We have three of them. I don't think they will be ready before it starts getting cold.

Here is our sugar baby watermelon. It should be ready any day now.

Here is the butternut squash. This plant was one that we started from seed. We thought it had died and was going to pull it up, but decided to let it go. Good thing we did!

Here is a row of onions. They are pretty small compared to store onions, but they're really good!

Our corn, green beans, and peas didn't do so good. We let the weeds get a little out of hand and then BAM we couldn't help them! We could have, but it would have taken too much time and a lot of work to pull out all the weeds. Our lettuce did really good. We had several heads of butter crunch and romaine. We enjoyed those a couple of months ago. Well, I think that pretty much covers it. Anyone need some cucumbers?

Thanks for the garden photos they look great! We went into the COOP here and I asked what would still grow before frost. They told me radishes and squash. Our garden choices are severely limited this year.

You have no idea what to do with that many cucumbers. I have no idea what to do with a radish!
