Check out what's growing in the garden



Michelle came in from outside carrying the zucchini. I was curious about what else was out there, so talked Michelle into another trip to the garden. Besides the zucchini, she also has pumpkins! They're still baby pumpkins right now, but they should be ready by Halloween! This is the first year she's actually gotten the pumpkins this far, usually they are at this stage at Halloween & then die because the weather turns. She started them two months early in the house & then moved them outside as soon as it was warm enough. She currently has three, but a couple more are starting to come on. The zucchini will most likely be made into bread...she made two loaves yesterday & already one of them is gone. There's also still crookneck squash, tomatoes, and all kinds of herbs out there. There were radishes and lettuce, but they're already done for the year. We've got apples on the tree out front too, they should be ready in a couple of weeks & then there will be apple butter & apple sauce!
