Squash Squash and More Squash

Ok so now I'm giving away squash. I froze a bunch and ate a bunch now I'm giving it away. We got a few cucumbers but not much this year. Last year cucumbers were abundant. The corn is doing good and making ears. They are not quit done yet but I'm hoping it's ready before we get any frost. After all the rain I had some tomato plants drowned because I have a low spot in the garden. They have perked up some and have lots of tomatoes on them. We actually grew broccoli this year and it was good. Mmmm!! I'm going to grow broccoli every year from now on. I have more growing that will be ready soon. The potatoes are good. We've been eating them for the last week now. The only thing is when we dug them up each plant had 2-3 big huge potatoes and that's it. I'm not sure if that's normal or not. There might be more potatoes deeper, I need to get a shovel to make sure. Pumpkins are huge and starting to turn orange. Shelby is having a great time checking it every day. Carrots are small and not growing very good at all. Green onions are still small and growing slow. Lettuce and spinach are delicious. We've been having salad every night with dinner.

No more rain please!!!

My tomato plants are standing in a pond. We have water everywhere. My corn is turning yellow. I don't know if I'm going to get any vegies or not. It turned cold that last couple of nights almost down to 40. We need a day or two to dry out then it can rain again.

Rain Rain and more Rain

For the past 4 days we've had lots of rain. So much rain that my corn is turning yellow. I did get about 6 more yellow squash. The tomato plants have more tomatoes but they are all still green. the onions were bent over by all the rain and the wind. The corn to a beating from the wind but none of it broke off so that's good. The corn is about 6 foot tall but no corn cobs on them. Some have a tiny little cob and the silk is already brown. Don't have a clue about that one yet.
The front flower beds look pretty good. I even have burgandy or dark purple colored lilies that I didn't know I had. They are beautiful. Along with all my flowers growing with the rain so are the weeds. I'm not sure when I will be able to get out there and work on getting them pulled out. I hate weeds.

More Squash

The garden is doing alot better since I put in the soaker hoses. We picked 2 more squash today. They are a little big but I think they should be ok to freeze. I want to chop them up and freeze them so we can use them in our fish packets. We finally have tomatoes growing, still green but I'm sure it won't take long for them to turn. I have some unidentified plants in my garden. I did plant them but...I thought I was planting bell peppers...but now they look like cabbage or broccoli. I think the package was mismarked.I have several bell pepper and banana pepper plants but no peppers yet. Carrots have not done very well this year. I usually have huge carrots by now but not this year. they are still small and so are the green onions. Every year is different. The corn has tassled and is now growing ears. I can't wait. The sweet red onion are doing great. We could probably start using them. I wish it would rain.
Please rain. Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain!!!!
