Garden Update......by Jessica



Huge cucumbers (I heard a MOM, COME HERE scream and ran outside; Ian turned over the cucumber stalk and we saw all these big ole cukes hanging out! Now comes the...do I pick? do I wait? dilemma), so many green beans and tomatoes that are starting to turn orange. Very exciting time in the garden for us.




My squash look beautiful until they reach about 4 inches long, and then they shrivel up, die and fall off the stalk. What's the deal???

Looking good...



Not so good....

i might just give in and rip my squashes out and start over - it's too disheartening watching them die like this! here's to hoping that i can get at least one crop this year!
