They just keep growing!!

Yum
It is hard to believe it is mid-August, and this garden is just not slowing down. 
The freezer is slowly filling with all sorts of veggies to keep us going with our own food through the winter. 

Today I did find signs of our first intruder ever. Apparently a raccoon found a way to slip past our dog, undetected. 
I trust that this will not happen again!

For planting the green beans so late, they are doing awesome.

I searched all spring for the perfect bean. 
I like the really long skinny varieties. I think I found a winner!

Lovely sunflowers. The bee's love them, too!

Blooms continue on the squash and pumpkins.

The pumpkin vine has grown up and over the tomatoes. 
I should cut it off, but I am curious how far it will go!

Dug up our first carrots of the season today. Small, but good!

Second harvest of cabbage!

Finally a perfect head of cauliflower! It is apparently doing better, in our cooler temps.

And the big attraction. . . . . My mammoth pumpkin! I am so excited to see how big it ends up!

  2. Look amazing. My garden looks so sad....all the non stop heat isn't doing it any favors. I think this year is a write-off for me :(

  3. Oh Kris! Your veggies look AMAZING!!! I am so envious of your beautiful gardens! How great it will be to be savoring these all winter long knowing you grew them yourself! That pumpkin is so cool! Is there a contest you can enter in the fall? Keep posting pics of that...I'd love to see how it develops, too! Hope you have a GREAT week. (And I loved the video of your harmonious critters!)
