Tomato, Tomahto

When we left for vacation our garden was growing, but pretty small and we were expecting it all to just die while we were gone.......the very opposite happened. Our tomato plants completely overtook our whole garden, housing some big, massive spiders. The good thing is that there are a lot of green tomatoes, but it's killing everything in it's path...like a tomato volcano here.

Whoever said you can't kill a zucchini plant, lied. We planted two only to find them dry up and blow away basically. Nothing. Nada. Zippo. Zilch. Our yellow squash on the other hand....... we thought that had died too cuz we got back and saw not a thing other than the massive tomato plants. Then our neighbor came over and said, I noticed you had squash growing so I kept them at my house for you; then gave me a bag of 6 massive (yes, that's my favorite word today :) ) squash. It's not like you can bake bread like with zucchinis. Wow, those things breed like rabbits! ;)
Yea...we're a little late for this trellis thing, but it's worth a shot. Now we're just waiting for all the tomahto's to turn red! mmmmmm

"Lettuce" update....

on our garden!!

We were able to harvest our lettuce for the first time yesterday!! It's so exciting! It's just so amazing to me that a tiny seed can turn into delicious produce! We used some of our home grown lettuce for a taco salad dinner and it was grrrreat.

We're getting super excited to harvest the rest of the veggies soon! Sadly some veggies we planted did not make it (including the Basil) because of the stupid cats digging in it. oh well, we'll just plant some more and have our BB guns ready......better yet, maybe we'll get a dog! :)

P.S. Sad story..... Faith thought she'd be helpful and clean my camera by throwing it in the pool. It's broken. :( So, my pix will be coming from my camera from now on until I get another camera in the next century. *sigh*
