Every person who can vote, should!!!

I don't care who you vote for (Obama, Obama, Obama, ...) as long as you get out and vote.

The Garden

O.K. here are the pictures  I promised.

This is where the ten thousand pounds of zucchini and crookneck come from everyday.

Mmm...Tomatoes...

You can't tell from the picture but each of these cabbages is now about the size of a basketball.

The watermelon that is dark is about a week away from being ripe, the other one might be ready around the end of September, I can't wait.

I have no clue what kind of squash this is, it grew itself in my compost pile and out of curiosity I decided to let it live. I sure hope it tastes good.

The peaches and pears are coming along really well, although the peaches are a couple of weeks behind this year compared to previous years.

Nasturtiums are not only very pretty but they are also very yummy and nutitious:
