SALSA TIME

Apparently you weren't impressed by the size of our zucchini. I figure I would've heard at least a peep out of someone had the case been otherwise.
Maybe this piece of tomato art on our windowsill will impress you. If you could ignore the window splatters in the background and concentrate on the size and variety of our prolific crop this year, you would be impressed. Nearby, in a large stainless steel colander, are the rest of the tomatoes, too many to stack up.
The largest tomato so far weighed in at fifteen ounces. If that doesn't impress you, let me put it another way: it is one ounce shy of a pound. I'm telling you, it's impressive!

WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING

This photo hardly does justice to the size and girth of this squash. I swear it happened overnight, while we were sleeping. It's too big to bring home and cook, so I'll let it grow to maturation and harvest the seeds for next year's planting. No telling how big it'll be when that time arrives, but you can bet I'll keep you posted.

Bountiful Earth

This is what spring planting is all about. Even though we gripe about the endless work a vegetable garden requires, we come home with big smiles and even bigger plans for a feast when harvest time arrives. Now we can sit back and watch our veggies grow, pull a stray weed or two out of the ground, and enjoy the fruits of our hard labor.
