Squash Update

I picked my first harvest of 3 squash.

Here is where I gutted a small part of one of them to save the seeds. I am going to try my hand at preserving the seeds year to year--- we'll see how this one goes.
Here's the best part....
I used my squash to make my mom's yummy squash muffin recipe, go here to get the recipe and make it for yourself-- it's yummy.

Garden Update

Garden March 29th:

And 13 days later:
Some close-ups:

Yellow squash- I can't wait to make my mom's yellow squash muffins with these.

Cucumbers. Pickles coming as soon as we have enough and with 9 plants I'm sure to have enough!
I've also started a bunch more seeds.

More onion, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers... this year my goal is to have a continual supply of veggies.

Spacing out the plants start time should allow for a longer harvest season.

I am also hoping to kill a large area on the side lawn and plant several rows of corn.

Justin has proven to be my son.

Yesterday he informed me he wanted to eat healthier, more fruits and veggies and he asked that they be natural, homegrown- no pesticides :)
