Our Garden

This is our unruly tomato plant. We got so many tomatoes that I made 2 giant batches of salsa and gave away a ridiculous amount to friends and neighbors!! We have been putting tomatoes on everything!
Our corn is another story!! We had peas earlier in the season and they grew too fast and shaded the corn. The corn didn't do too well, but we have several cobbs. My mom said the corn will probably break the stalks in half before the corn is ripe for the picking.

Our canteloupe popped up, but Evan thinks it looks like a watermelon so I may have my plants mixed up!
Our squash keeps coming and we are wondering when it will stop!! We original planted the whole packet of seeds and then realized that you really only need 1 or 2, so I pulled a ton but couldn't pull them all. I kept 12 plants and that was 11 too many.
Digging for tatters! We planted potatoes and were surprised that we got any. I planted grocery store potatoes and heard later that you shouldn't do that if you want good potatoes.

Your garden is so cool! The deer have pretty much helped themselves to everything in our garden. We had this really cool white pumpkin growing, and the deer just ate it. It was as big as my head so I don't know how they did it. Cute baby btw.
