August 14, 2011: Garden update

Nash and Grandpa basking in their garden.

Nash found a funny, curly cucumber

Harvesting tomatoes - a family favorite

Grandpa and Lula glad for the shade

I think we're up to 5 pumpkins

One is turning orange!

I seem to be the only one concerned about the pumpkin vines heading for my favorite lemon tree.

 A picture of my beautiful Emma who starts high school this week - just for good measure.

Golden zucchini or the horns he's been waiting for? Little devil.

A sink full of tomatoes!!!

Super Grandpa gets to be the first to sample some corn we plucked from the vine.

It was a fun Sunday afternoon with my dad and great to have so many veggies to bring home! He gave the boys his plastic bottles to recycle, too. They made $3.50 which we used to buy donuts for breakfast on Monday. Yum.

July 31 2011: How our garden grows

Lots of green tomatoes!

Little, tiny baby pumpkin under the blossom.

Corn!

Watermelons - real live growing watermelons

Baby golden zucchini. Hooray! The last one made some delicious muffins.

Our gardening Carpenter with ONE red tomato

I just love this picture of Lula under my favorite lemon tree. Resting in the shade after playing hard with grandpa and the kids.

The corn was almost as tall as my dad! Garden is looking good.

July 18 2011: First Harvest

The garden grew fast! Look at those pumpkin vines.

Our first harvest of golden zucchini and cucumbers.

June 2011

The garden wasn't the only thing growing. Someone needed a haircut.

Luckily, he has a wonderful, multi-talented daughter to cut his hair while his kind son-in-law did the gardening. Even if he complained later that he looked like belonged in prison it was so short. Puh-lease.

The young garden with new flowers.



September 2010: Harvest...if you can call it that

Our sad, sad 2010 garden. At least we got a pumpkin and a watermelon...or did we?

Notice the sticker on the watermelon. My dad thinks he's so funny.

April 2010: Planting

Harland hard at work planting pumpkins.

See the goofball in the center. He calls it "supervising".
