Squash on Steroids

Ok so I know I just blogged about squash and they are really not that interesting but I did just go out there and pick on Sunday. Today is Tuesday and none of those squash were even close to being that large. I am blown away at the sheer size and quantity of the squash this year. I have to say it has been a great growing season so far. I also have to disclaim that if any of you lived in WA last year you would know that we could barely convince our plants to produce even one squash so this year has been really fun. Anyways you won't be seeing anymore squash pics I promise but my tomatoes are just about to ripen and I can't guarantee that you won't see pics of those.

Compared to last year our garden has been quite successful this year. However there is a good and a bad side to that. Jeff went out the other day and saw some squash that weren't quite ready, we went out yesterday and discovered a baseball bat size zucchini over night. Looks like I'm going to be making zucchini bread.
We are also growing tomatoes, lettuce, swisschard, and strawberries.
Also I'm really excited about our peach, and asian pear trees which are still really young but covered in fruit. We also have a plum tree which is huge and hasn't really produced plums in years however Jeff and I have been pruning it since we moved in and it is now covered in a fair amount of plums. I'm really excited to see that we got it to produce fruit again. Jeff's brother said that sometimes trees like that get really big, lazy and happy and so they just stop producing. Well looks like we shocked it into life.
These are our squash plants. They are huge! I made Remmy sit by them so you could have a point of reference of thier actual size and maybe understand now how we got such an enormous squash.
