I have not been this happy in a loooooong time. It feels so good to be at home. Home is where I belong!

Grem with the first homegrown carrots of the year. The carrots, like Grem, are not that long but are plump and juicy.

Watering the carrots (you can see the new grass around the shed, and a little of the trellis peeking about from behind my head):


It's hard to tell from the picture, but the squash plants on the left are waist high. The pumpkin plants on the right are about 10 feet long.

The crookneck squash and mini pumpkins are crazy fast growing (crooknecks in place of zucchini this year). This is after we had two squash with dinner and gave one to our neighbor.

This was supposed to be a full-size pumpkin plant...I think it cross-pollinated with a honeydew melon and yielded this 10-inch-long yellow/green speckled weirdo:

The other garden stuff isn't as interesting to look at right now. 3/4 of one big bed looks empty but there should be carrot seedlings and potato plants emerging any day now. Note to self: planted spinach today in back square bed (Ferry Morse "Teton Hybrid"). Planted a billion containers today, too: pickling cukes, nasturtiums, catnip, and pole beans.
