Gardening

The garden is coming in nicely. We are starting to get some cherry tomatoes and zucchini (why, oh why did Jay plant zucchini? Like I'm going to make zucchini bread when it's in the 90's? I guess I'll have to freeze some for later.) and some cucumbers as well. The corn is looking pretty good, as are the carrots and the onions. The jury is still out on some of the herbs and peppers we tried this year - we'll just have to see how it goes. Our bigger tomatoes should hopefully start coming in soon as well. And we expect to have tons of pumpkins this year - we did three pumpkin plants on the side of the yard and they are exploding.

William is still our Master Gardener. Nothing pleases him more than to help Jay out there - watering, weeding, picking. He loves to pick and eat raspberries straight from the bushes - we are getting alot more this year and hope to be able to do some freezer jam next year. This year it's enough to pick and eat and Jay can get enough for his morning oatmeal or smoothie. Over the weekend we grilled onions and zucchini and they were yummy. It's fun to eat things that are freshly picked from the garden.

The only thing I'm really flummoxed about is the zucchini. If you happen to find some on your front porch one morning, you don't have to say anything. You're welcome! And let me know what you do with it. I'm open to suggestions. At least it's not squash.
