Garden Bliss
Can I just say that I truly enjoy gardening?! I finally got my pictures on this computer. Funny thing is.... now my garden is twice as big!! Today I picked 2 peppers and 3 zucchini's. Funny story about the zucc's (pronounced: z-oo-k-s), this year I only planted 5 pockets on my mound (meaning, I poked 5 holes with my thumb and put 3 seeds in each hole) where as last year I did 7-9 holes.....haha, yeah, we had zucc's coming out of our ears! So I thought I was pretty safe this year by just doing 5......and I thought I was even MORE safe when only 4 plants came up....I was wrong! One day, I was out whacking morning glory with my hoe, when I noticed that what I had just hit was either a squash or zucchini plant. I looked around, and wouldn't you know, there were two others just growing out of no where!! Actually, they were from my last years crop.... who knew that they would be annuals?!?! Our neighbor who we pay to come and plow our field must have dragged some seeds to a new location and WALAH! we have even more zucchini that last year! It's kind of funny, because this year I bought a new kind of zucc, so now I have 2 different kinds in my garden. By looking at what is producing now... I will be picking zucc's everyday for the rest of my life!! BUT, I am grateful we have crops this year, and I am grateful for those blasted zucc's!

What a great garden! I love fresh veggies from the garden. You know, we had a tomato plant and a few watermelon plants come up in our garden this year that must have been from last year. Crazy!
The saying is that you spend all summer giving zooks away, then all winter buying it from a store. Mine died this year, so let me know if you have any extras. :) kam
Yay! You are such a wonderful little green-thumb. Your yard always looks so nice! And we are so lucky to be able to eat the harvest from your garden! Thanks. ;)
You are amazing! What a beautiful garden. I haven't embarked on that venture yet (haven't had my own yard to do it 'till this year, but we just moved in. Too much tackle at a time.) Next year though. It's quite intimidating though, I must say. Anyhoo, your yard looks great! And I absolutely love your flowers!
Wow! That is awesome! I LOOOOVVVEE your garden, it looks like it's growing great and you have so much space! Isn't it great to have fresh food from your very own garden?
