The last time I posted a garden update was back in August, nearly 2 months ago. I have to say that even though we got quite a bit of produce from our garden, this was not our best year. From what I have heard from several people in our area, that was the norm around [...]

My garden still looks sad. There are lots of weeds and we need rain. However, it is still providing us with produce, specifically tomatoes. I have been canning spaghetti sauce and I plan to make some salsa very soon. Yummy! Amazingly, there are still some cucumbers and zucchini growing. I even found two small pumpkins [...]

In spite of the way my garden looks, I am thrilled with all of the yummy produce we have been blessed with. I have quite a few tomatoes that I need to juice this afternoon and turn into some yummy spaghetti sauce. The cucumbers and zucchini are still going strong even after all these weeks. [...]

I haven’t posted a garden update for a few weeks because, quite frankly, my garden has looked pretty embarrassing. Here is what my garden looked like two weeks ago. The weeds have taken over and it even looked worse than that before my mom came over this afternoon to help me. I took a sickle [...]

Our garden is starting to look pretty sad due to the high temperatures and lack of rain. We have watered it, and my husband put up a sprinkler.   Thankfully, we are still getting green beans even though my plants look like they are dying.  We are also getting lots of zucchini and cucumbers.  I [...]

We were gone for four days last week. I think we went at the right time because all of our produce is starting to be ready to pick now. There have been 18 zucchini picked from our garden so far. I have given away nine of them, but there are plenty for us to eat [...]

On Thursday I picked some broccoli and one zucchini.  The broccoli plants have looked pretty sad so I was surprised to even get this much from our plants.  I almost let it go too long because it was about to start flowering.   I fried up the zucchini for supper that night and I think [...]

Our garden has really grown this week.  We are getting closer to being able to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Check out our little zucchinis!  It won’t be long now. Most of our plants have been doing well.  Unfortunately, our cabbage doesn’t appear to be faring too well thanks to insects and all of [...]

The row of corn on the right of this photo was all laying down on Thursday evening.  A thunderstorm rolled through earlier that afternoon complete with about 10 minutes of hail.  This picture was taken yesterday after the corn was starting to stand up straight again which is why I entitled this post the way [...]
