The Great Harvest

I just wanted to write an update on our garden. I cannot believe how amazing it has been. After the first few weeks of grueling work, it's pretty much just taken off on its own. It looks more like a jungle than a small patch of garden. Our tomatoes have been the funnest crop so far. We've made homemade salsa, used them on tacos, and last week we had some delicious homemade spaghetti sauce. We have tried to tie them to the cages multiple times, but they just keep breaking free! We get three or four tomatoes a day now.
Here are the giant tomatoes we peeled for spaghetti.























































We were worried that the pumpkins wouldn't grow because we planted them about a month late. But there was no reason for concern....they have totally taken over the back driveway! And just in time for Halloween...we have real actual pumpkins!




























I cannot WAIT to carve these adorable things!! We have six started so far, and lots of buds that will hopefully turn into more.
And last but not least, our precious corn.



















We've loved the corn and tomatoes, but we can hardly use all of the stuff we're getting from them! So I'm thinking that next year we might plant the whole plot at pumpkins! One giant pumpkin patch. I guess praying for our plants to grow every night has worked out well. We have had so much fun!
