We now have quite a few winter squash nearly ready. Plus there are definetly pumpkins! Quite a few of them, the kids are quite happy about that. We also found that some small tomatoes were growing near the house not down in the vegetable garden. It turned out that one set of 6 plants got set aside and never planted in the garden. They did great anyway right next to the house mixed in with some flowers and many weeds!

This past weekend we picked loads of yellow summer squash, zuchinni and corn! This was the first time we'd ever managed to grow corn in the short growing season here. The corn was small but very good. We ate quite a lot and then I froze the rest right away. Still trying to decide what to do with the yellow squash. Used the zuchinni is rattatouli. Oh yes, we've had tomatoes too. Still to come are winter squash and hopefully pumpkins. At this stage it is hard to tell if any of the round "squash" is squash or pumpkins. We've already had one night of slightly below fezzing weather. Other nights are getting cool. It is a race to garden in this area.
