My Little Patch of Tranquility

My garden has truly been a blessing this year. Usually I plant one so that the grand kids can see how things grow and once the weeds set in and the real work starts I loose interest rather quickly. This year however, I have really enjoyed being out there. Even in this heat. I have picked over 100 squash off of six plants. The tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and eggplant have done okay. If I don't pick squash every day, overnight they turn into these giant squash. Jennifer thinks that if we sit out there, we could actually watch them grow! If I miss one, I will throw it over the fence. The other day, Jim saw a little squirrel dragging one all the way across the field. He said that little squirrel worked so hard to get it to the tree that he lived in only to realize that he couldn't possibly get it up there. He said that he would look up at the tree, then down at the squash, he wished that he had a video camera!
