Garden goodies

So I gathered my "crop" yesterday. Had no idea I had so many squash. Some of them are 'squashkin's' The pumpkins have been orange for a month already. They will probably be a little slimy around Halloween. This bush is loaded with jalapenos. I made Jeff a fresh salsa out of it and there was absolutely no bite what so ever. I was disappointed. I was thinking about canning them. After I cut them up I told Jeff to remind me to not touch my eyes. He cut one up and stuck in on his pizza. What did he do.... rub his eyes. lol. I even warned him.
My one and only dahlia. For orange it's pretty.

Now the back yard looks much better with all the sprawling vines and rotten onions, yellow cucumbers (not supposed to be) and such out. We put a screen over it so the cats stay out. he he he... just left the carrots that are only an inch long. They got run over, covered and pushed out by the squash and pumpkins.


Dad's pepper

Here is one of Dad's peppers he grew. We put a coffee cup next to it to show it's gigantic size.
