More Gardenin'

Well, we pulled the damn broccoli out. Also most of our lettuces, as they had bolted as well.

What's left? Two tomato plants that have seemingly been cross-bred with oak trees, a spunky eggplant, assorted herbs, two cucumber plants that are holding their own, and a spaghetti squash that is already on its way to taking over the garden, the yard, and possibly the neighborhood.

Apart from the main garden, our zucchini plant has been feeding us for over a week now, and sticking my fingers a couple of inches into the barrels of potatoes revealed spuds ready for harvest.

Yep, it's that tall.

Like she points out every chance she gets, size does matter.

Fun for my wife: pulling plants out of the ground. Also: stomping on butterflies.

Now a purple flower, soon a purple eggplant. Never had eggpplant? Picture Grimace from the McDonald's ads, but sliced and served with marinara.
