Wow! It has been soo long since I have posted a blog on here. My computer had to get revamped and the person who did it took off my home pages.. which garden guides was one of! Then life was happening and things have been crazy!!

So, anyway, our garden is looking really good this year! The peacocks (from next door) has stayed until last week! Then they seemed to remember that we have a garden. So it have been all of on "peacock patrol" all during the day!! The like the early morning hours so far, so it is usually me and my bright green bath robe that has to go out and yell and wave my arms around.. with my hair is all directions...see I have not even been in the shower yet!! LOL

We have already been getting some good sized zuccini, and radishes!! Our corn did not get too tall, but has already flowered, and so we have been going and and "sexting" the corn plants!! My partner laughs when she tells me that she "sexed" the corn plants!! she did not believe me at first, that if you want the insure that you get corn, just go out and collect the flower seeds (or whatever they are called on corn plants) and sprinkle them down the plants so that the seeds go down in between the leaf and the stalk, but, we have cobs already growing!!!

The strawberries that I planted two years ago, have decided to give us some berries this year! Have had to harvest every couple of days!!! My dad, goes out and harvests, and then he makes strawberry short cakes!! yumm, yumm!!

I even noticed that my current has some berries!! Though at a foot tall the plant wont be able to give me too many berries at once.

We have pumpkins, cucumbers, zuccini, straight-neck squach, crooked-neck squash, onions, garlic, carrots, radishes.. lots!!

Well, I think that I rambled enough for now!

Later

I was out checking out the garden this morning and making a mental list of this to try to get done this weekend, when I spotted a zucchini.  I have posted a picture in my Greenhouse & Garden album. This is the biggest round zucchini I have yet to see, my cell is next to it to give a hint of the size! And then the end of it had seeds coming out! I am not sure if the peacocks had eaten a little of it and the hole was near the seeds, or what... I am not sure but really strange looking,, there is a picture of that also!
