Cucumber

We have really enjoyed the cucumbers this year. Very tasty!

Zucchini

People say these are too large to eat. They are wrong. Cut in half and rake out the seeds. Bake in oven after coating with olive oil. Cook ground beef in taco seasoning on top of stove. When squash is tender to the fork take out add the ground beef and top with cheese. Return to oven for a few minutes. Take out and enjoy.

Tomatoes etc...

Again, not as large as last year's crop.

Tomatoes 2011

Tomatoes are coming in a little smaller than last year.

Harvest June 18,2011

Although it is hot and dry, the rainwater I am putting on my garden is working.

Bountiful Harvest

The joys of a producing garden. Plenty for ourselves, friends, neighbors and strangers alike.

Tomatoes are in!!!

Tomatoes are coming in daily now. No bottom rot this year. Two attacks by spider mites. No other problems to date.

Squash blossom

Loads of blossoms, many bees and tons of squash.

Squash & cucumber basket

Four types of squash and one lone cucumber somewhere in the pile. Garden is doing GREAT so far!!!!

TOMATO

A good guess about the weight of the larger of these would be over 16 oz. The Bonnie Select came in large last year and they are doing the same this year. One difference I am seeing is the plants seem smaller than usual. We'll have to see how they grow as the summer heats up.
