Camera Dump

Last Harvest: I love my "Jack Be Little" pumpkin plant!  So far 21 pumpkins, and there are still a few that aren't quite ripe yet, hopefully they will get there before they freeze.

 

My 20 lb banana squash.

 



 

Pigtails! It is a rare occasion that she lets me put ponytails in.  Hence the messyness, I am not very good at it.

 



Rylee doesn't like her hair done, either.

 



Give your sister a hug!

 



"eggs"- Erin is obsessed with eggs=rocks.  She thinks they are going to hatch, and she asks all the time, "what's in this one?"

 

I made the mistake of letting Rylee hold the bags of treats. She dumped them all out on the side of her seat, then when I opened the door it overflowed. Sheesh.

Randomish

I just really wanted to share this cute pic of Erin wearing her daddy's shoes.

And here's some more of my garden.  I bet you really don't care about my garden, but I think it's really fun.  Here is a pic of our tiny cauliflowers, another crook neck squash and an acorn squash.  The cauliflower was really not good.  It was spicy hot.  Really wierd,  I don't know if I picked it too early, too late or what.  Maybe it needs fertilizer?  I've pretty much decided to bag it next year.  And the broccoli, too.  It never looked like broccoli.  And we probably only need one crook neck plant.  I don't think I can eat all of it, as no one else in the fam likes it.  Not even Rylee.  I cooked it with garlic, peppers, onions and basil yesterday and it was pretty tasty.  I googled recipes for it and didn't find much.  That was an adaptation of one of the recipes I found.  I think maybe the acorn was not quite ripe, or I cooked it to long or something.  I cooked it with butter and brown sugar and cinnamon.  It was tasty but a bit mushy.  Maybe I need to wait for frost or something. 

Here is my overflowing garden!  It is so fun!!

Squash

I was really excited about the first squash from my garden.  It was not good, however.  I think I let it get too big.  Plus it was bumpy, and looked more like a gourd than a squash.  Hopefully the next one will be better.  Erin has a Strawberry  Short Cake movie with fairy that makes the strawberries red.  She keeps saying that Margalo (the fairy's name) has come to the garden.  It's really cute.  We are having fun with our garden even though we don't know what the heck we are doing. 

They love their Daddy!

Erin and Rylee are both Daddy's Girls. They love him sooo much, and he is a great Dad.

Happy Father's Day Tyson!

Garden Boxes

Last fall Tyson built us some raised bed gardens for vegetables.  It will be an adventure.  Here is Erin and Tyson planting our first plant, strawberries.  We'll see what happens.  Maybe they will grow.

Erin was really excited to help her dad with the planting.  She loves doing anything with him.  She's so cute.  Tyson really loved it, too.
