I decided to try a garden this year and things seem to be going well so far. Although we won't be saving any money this year with all the set up costs... But its been interesting and fun for Maddie too, the sunflowers are hers. We got back from vacation last week wondering how well it make out untended, it was fine, more than fine even. Here's what it looked like a few days ago.

The large plants overgrowing everything else is zucchini. Apparently it really likes miracle grow. I planted 5 and they are much too close to each other and everything else. So next year, maybe 2 in the same amount of space. The next day I noticed a couple of small ones starting to sprout and then in about 3 days they turned into these.

So, I guess if nothing else, we should have a bumper crop of zucchini this year.

I have a rocking recipe for zucchini bread to help take care of your abundance....
Well, "Like Father, like Son". Dad could grow a prolific crop of zuccini. We used to have it, in some form or the other, on the menu every day, all summer, at The Bridge Restaurant.
