We have been consistently enjoying harvests from our garden. Its so fun to go out before dinner and pick some yummies to come up with something with for dinner! Healthy, yummy and cheap! Gotta love it!

Well, I am bummed! Its official, my eight ball zuchinni and patty pan squash have the borer :(
This is the first time I have ever tried to grow plants from this family...They are still producing, but I am not sure for how much longer. I have now researched some organic methods of control, but I am afraid it may be too late. I have been reading a book about companion planting and I hope that implementing this next year will sugnifigantly help this issue.

Its working! Its working! I invested $ on seeds and raised beds and I am just getting to the point in the season where I can consistently pick something to have that very evening for dinner! What fun!!! Tonight, its patty pan squash!
The Tootle Bug likes it too :)
Funny, she will hardly eat anything we put on her plate, but if she picks it off a plant, she's game
Its so rewarding to see the "fruits" (and veggies) of your efforts!
Gettin geared up for heirloom tomatoes and eggplants too!
