My Green Thumb
I think this is the fourth year that I have put out a garden during the spring. Each year I have put out squash and the last three springs I have gotten tomato plants that I never planted. May have something to do with the tomatoes that rot on the vine before I remember to pick them. Last year was the first year I planted corn, but we left on vacation before it was ready. Then the entire week we were gone it didn't rain a drop so we didn't get any corn. My squash didn't really produce much last year either. This year is a whole other story. This is my garden this year.My tomatoes are mixed in with my squash, along with my carrots and a couple of canteloupe plants. My sweet peas didn't turn out as well as I would've liked but I have learned to stake them early next time so it wasn't for all for nothing. My squash plants have finally ripened enough that I was able to start harvesting them. This is what I have gotten over the last five days.This does not show the squash that I have frozen, cooked or given away. And there's much more coming! I think it's safe to say, I'm going to have squash for a very, very, very long time!

I am so jealous. We have gotten some green beans already, but my plants don't look anything like that yet. We planted late, but I didn't think that we planted THAT late. I will trade you some green beans for some of that yummy squash!
I'll gladly give the squash lol! There's just so much of it!
We ALWAYS mean to plant a garden and then never do. It's probably for the best, though, since I would likely kill all the plants!!
