2003 garden photos

The photos were not saved on the old blog, here are the ones I still have that go with the previous garden posts:

Last 2003 garden post

The garden is all done for the year now. I have some photos of the many winter squash we picked last week but the photo uploading is not working at the moment. Will add them in later. I'd say we have 40 assorted winter squash that were picked in the last week. It was a goods year for Veg. gardening compared to some. We actually got corn which we've never been sucessful with before. Plus more winter squash than usual and plenty of tomatoes and summer squash. We had planted green beans but were too late getting them in and the frost killed the young plants.

The garden is hanging in there despite the cold weather, we've had several nights below freezing now. I am hoping the pumpkins will have a chance to get bigger and that more winter squash will ripen. Here is a photo of the acorn and butternut squash that we picked Friday:

We also have some more tomatoes, these ones unexpected. We forgot to plant one tray of cherry tomatoes and the plants went ahead and grew right next to the house. No one noticed until the flowers and weeds started dying off with the colder weather. These are still doing ok, probably they are quite sheltered there right next to the house.

We've had the first VERY cold night now and hopefully the winter squash and pumkins will continue to be OK. I've taken photos of the various squash and pumpkins but the photo site I use for them is not working now. I will add them in later
