The Garden


As most of you know I live on a farm of sorts. No sidewalks, tractors everywhere, barns, cows mooing down the road. Fields of corn, soybeans, etc. everywhere. So Brian was delighted to be able to put his garden in this year. We had tomatoes, green onions, peppers green and red, hot peppers, and the zucchini. We haven't had to buy much at the Farm market this year, and I have froze anything we couldn't eat right now. By the way did you know you could freeze green tomatoes. Anyhow, everything has its season. Each vegetable has a time it grows and then dies out for the season. The zucchinis should have already been done, however our turbo growing zucchini just keeps growing. The picture is what happens when you send your family to check on if there is anymore out there, and they say nope they are all gone. Now will someone please tell me how does a zucchini get this big when it was invisible for 3 days?

Geeze! How does a vegetable grow to be that size?! And why don't you grow cucumbers? You know how I love cucumbers.

maybe Mommy fed it something special, or a UFO dropped it in the garden while passing by...you've heard these after you brought it in...

As I came to this blog looking for a new post (which I did not find) I noticed this post again. You make it sound like you're settling the West over there and you're out plowing the fields with donkeys! LOL I would probably phrase it more like this, you live in a house that happens to be located on a farm. Well, that depends - what makes up a farm? Just a few big (active) barns? Or are animals a requirement? Cats don't count.
