It's been a long time since I've posted - sorry! Here's a post about our "sort of" garden. Basically, we threw a bunch of random seeds down, and added a few vegetable plants - cauliflower and crooked-neck squash - for variety. It's been so fun to have! The kids and us go out nearly every day to watch things grow, and because of this, my hero husband is going to build me some more boxes in the backyard so I can have a real garden next year. Overall, a very satisfying experience. And low stress. We didn't do much - weeding was easy and we have auto sprinklers in that bed. So it was just fun! Not very scientific, but who cares!
One of our squash - probably my favorite vegetable to eat!
Here is our budding garden in June...
Much bigger in July! It's really huge now! The squash took over (yeah - it's really crammed; we learned some things for next year. By the way, the cauliflower was purple and tasted really bitter - but still fun to grow). The Zinnias are now well over 3 ft. tall. It's so funny to have vegetables growing in with our flowers. Very hodge-podgy, non-conformist and random - just the way we like it!
A close up of a squash plant and a marigold. Did I mention I love squash? We have 2 plants, and I need more squash than they can produce. I would eat one or two a day if I had them available. Not only do I sautee, grill, bake, and steam squash - but my mom taught me to cut them up and put them in a fruit smoothie (adds a serving of veggies).

Yeah for a garden! If you need more squash, or some zucchini, please come on over! I've got 9 zucchini plants and 7 yellow squash plants. I've been just giving them away to the neighbors. Pretty soon we will have more corn than we could eat in a year. We are just waiting for it to get bigger. Email me your smoothie recipe with squash. I need some new ideas!
