The Harvest

I'm actually getting food from my garden!!!! So far I have harvested 4 zucchinis and 4 kidney beans. LOL!!!! Still growing: several zucchinis, an ear of popcorn, a slightly-larger-than-softball-sized pumpkin, a racquetball-sized pumpkin, several more kidney bean pods, and about 5 carrots.

I'm doubtful about my watermelon plant - shouldn't there be something there by now? LOL

Next year we have already decided that we'll be able to add in additional rows. Our garden is somewhat stair-stepped, and we only have one row on each "step." Now to figure out how to keep the deer (or whatever critters) from jumping the fence and eating my cantaloupe plants....

Well, I have 2 watermelons on my plant...but they are smaller than golf balls and our first frost is usually mid-September, so I'm doubting they'll be edible! The popcorn sounds SOO interesting. I'll have to try that next year!

About the deer--Robin's aunt told us that deer don't like human hair, so maybe you can save some from someone's next haircut and scatter it? I'd never heard that before.

I have no watermelons either. I do have lots of blossoms on it, but no watermelons.

I say if the deer want the cantaloupe, let them have it. lol

I've heard about the hair and deer too, so it must be true. ;^)

I'm having a tiny garden spot next year. Maybe we will try popcorn. Let us know how it did.

Good for you. Gardening is such a creative act. Plants grow. We do so little to help, yet we get to play a part. It always amazes me.
