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:

The Garden is starting to really produce now, soon it will be time to start putting up the tomatoes. I have a lot of pumpkins and spaghetti squash...yum...and I have a few watermelon that should be ready in a couple of weeks.

I am so neglectful, I promise to post some pictures soon (hopefully before winter).

T. Boone Pickens

I think his plan looks very interesting. There are more videos on the pickensplan.com site.

I was out wandering through the garden with the camera this morning to take pictures of the vegetable garden when I got distracted by this pretty little thing. I thought I would share.

This is Ramses and Steve you can tell they can't stand each other.

And its Ramses again, he can be quite moody, in fact I sometimes think he's a little bipolar.

This is Moses, he was mad at me when I took this picture because I interrupted his quiet time.

And this is Zilly. She would love to peck out your eyes. Don't be offended, and don't think you are special either, that's just how she is.
