We've got Veggies! and lots of Pumpkins!

For the first time, our garden is doing well!  And this is the first year I've actually enjoyed gardening!!  Canning has taken over my life these past few weeks but its been fun.  It's a great feeling to see the finished product too!  Our family will enjoy our canned goodies throughout the winter.  So far pickles, peaches (store bought), green beans and pickled green beans have been canned.

This is a blurry picture but this is about 1/2 of our canned goods.  Salsa, stewed tomatoes and pumpkin will be added to the group later this month.

Our garden has pumpkins to the left, then cucumbers and zucchini, beans (3 rows), carrots, radishes, tomatos, then peppers and a few random corn stalks that showed up for the party on the right end.

We've got pumpkins!  And this isn't even the largest of them.  B has his pumpkin all picked out.  Last year we ended up with about 30 pumpkins.  I'm guessing this year we'll probably double that.  We only planted 2 plants and this is what happened....

a 'few' pumpkins!

Here's one of the best gardeners in training....

And here's the other...

Here's a fun picture for you...a boy and his dog.  I love this picture.  Mixmatched clothes (that are also on backwards), rubber boats and running with a best friend. If only you could have heard his giggles.
