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.
