Last Harvest

We picked most of the crops left in the garden. We ended up with these two butternut squash and have a small one that we're gonna waiting a little while longer before picking.


We planted 3 pepper plants, one green, one red and one yellow and this is the only one we got! Not sure what happened, but something got to the leaves and ate them all up.


Our tomato plants did the best. This picture was after a good rain and they were all drooping. They grew to be taller than the stakes. We've still got a couple dozen green tomatoes, that we'll pick this weekend and then let ripen in the house.


We never got any cantaloupe or watermelon. We had 4 watermelon start growing, but never amounted to anything. Bummer.


After we clean out the garden we're going to be planting lots of spinach. I'm very excited about this considering we eat spinach daily and it's not cheap. It should be a fairly easy thing to grow.

Even though our garden is small, I think we've had a good return on our plants. I'm still amazed at the whole cycle of plants and how they can grow from such tiny seeds to edible produce so quickly. God is an amazing creator! I love being able to witness his power in this way.
