Garden Talk and Saturdays

It is now butternut squash time at our house.  I'm going to make baby food out of it.  I was going to let them get a little bigger, but Ben accidentally picked them while mowing. :)  I think it will be fine.  I'm FINALLY getting some tomatoes too, but not like last year.  I'm learning something new every year about gardening.  I'm convinced that you have to garden for a long time to figure stuff out unless you've done it in your childhood years.  Last year's crop was tomatoes... wonderful tomatoes I had last year.  This year is the year of squash.  My carrots are pathetic, my cucumbers look like little mutant fingers (by the way, my neighbor has cucumbers the size of your arm), my green beans are in the middle of thousands of weeds and when I pick them there are about enough to hold in one hand.  You gonna boil some water for about 10 beans???  My cantaloupes keep getting eaten by bugs.  Oh, and the strawberries were good this year.  So... it's the year of strawberries and squash.  Next year I'm going to get some great stuff... you just watch!!

Here's Ben and Gwen playing around last Saturday morning.
