Garden Abundance

Although this summer started off very wet, the growing season has been great for our garden. We held off planting a lot of our veg until drier days but despite the shorter season our produce is looking great. 
A few photo's of the garden and harvest thus far.

Squashy Slope

Prize winning squash?

The squash, as seen above, have been a bit of mystery to us. Beth started a whole bunch of squash, of different varieties, in the basement under a fluorescent light in the Spring. We planted them all later once we had warmer, drier days and a couple months later they are all the same type. It looks like a cross between a hubbard and a zucchini, except they're huge!
