Check out some of the great produce we've gotten from our garden! I realized we hadn't posted garden pictures in a really long time, so you need a major update! We got a couple dozen ears of corn (what the squirrels left us after they had their dinner... grrr...), a ton of potatoes (YAY!), a big bag of carrots, a couple grocery bags of green beans, a lot of snap peas, a bunch of peppers we're not sure what to do with, we're starting to get cucumbers, and we're accumulating a whole lot of tomatoes. We're thinking of trying to make some kind of tomato sauce this weekend- I hope we don't screw it up and waste all those tomatoes ;)
We ended up giving our garden a major "haircut" this weekend (and before), pulling out the severely overgrown nastertums and weed-whacking the 5 foot tall lettuce, harvesting the potatoes, chopping down the spent corn stalks, and pulling out the yellowing snap pea plants. Our garden is looking a bit bare (below), but still producing. Still left are more tomatoes, herbs, flowers, peppers, and melons!
Here's one of our canteloupes. We have 4 plants and at least a dozen melons, and the biggest ones are softball sized and still growing. I hope they're actually good!!
And a tiny watermelon! This has doubled in size since I took the picture a couple days ago. I've never seen a home grown watermelon that's actually oblong like the ones at the grocery store, so I take that an an encouragement :)
Well, I hope you're having a great week! Don't forget to help name our blog!

Sadie's blog name suggestions are brilliant!
You guys are dorks.....
why did you leave here? there was a fire in our building today. you totally missed out!
Wow Sadie, those are pretty amazing. See, that pseudo-English-degree paid off! ;)
Chris and Andrea... what the heck?! You guys have all the fun! Did I ever tell you I got visited by security because I set off the smoke detector by scorching popcorn?? See, it's a good thing we left because I was a danger to our hallway. ...and yeah, we're dorks.
I know this is an old post, but it caught my eye (of course). Send some of your tomato-ripening power this way, would you? I'd be very grateful. :) Did you manage the tomato sauce? I've never made it, but I blanch/peel my tomatoes, dice them up, and freeze them in ziplocs - an easy, tasty, healthy version of 'diced tomatoes in a can'. My lasagna adores them (and I adore the lasagna).
