Joe has picked quite a few zucchini and squash. Just look at how big they are!
Ephraim and Jacob were happy to hold my veggies so I could take pictures. They are both wearing the new shirts we got on clearance at Kohls. On Thursday after story time we went and had lunch with Daddy. Then I took the kids shopping. Definitely not my favorite thing to do, but Jacob really needed some shorts his size. He only had 2 pairs that fit and he had still been squeezing into a couple of size 4, which just won't work anymore. So we bought Jacob 3 new pairs of shorts, both the boys got a shirt off the clearance rack, and I just couldn't pass up a shirt and shorts for Amelia. By the time we tried on all that stuff, Amelia was DONE. So I didn't even get to look and see if they had any cute clothes for me! *sigh* We had to head home.
Anyway, back to the garden. This year we actually decided to try to grow a cauliflower and broccoli. When I looked this weekend, this is what I saw:
That is a cauliflower down there! We were starting to wonder if the plants were going to grow anything! I really need to spend some time in the garden weeding, but that gets hard with three littles. I really should pick some of the yummy raspberries and strawberries out there.
Maybe I will have to start working on it during Amelia's nap time. The problem is that we are trying to get her to only take one nap now. When I put her down in the morning she tends to sleep too long and then she won't take an afternoon nap. But I guess I will just have to do it in the afternoon even though it's hot!
Looks like your garden is doing well. It's fun to eat what you've grown. We really enjoyed the squash you gave us.
