Kimball: What happens when you neglect your garden the ENTIRE summer?

What happens when you neglect your garden the ENTIRE summer?

You end up with cucumbers the size of small zucchinis,

dill that is running rampant,

and peppers that are long past their prime.

There are however a few things that have survived my neglect.

Carrots in various sizes,

a pumpkin ready for Halloween,

and butternut squash for the ages.

Better luck next year!

Saratoga Six said...: I love the new feet photo! I had to laugh. I guess if you can't get them all to pose nice faces, feet is your next best bet! My boys won't smile for cameras either. Hence the lack of nice Christmas photos every year.; September 2, 2008 at 10:15 AM
