Baymule's 2016 Garden

[thistlebloom]

It's all just awesome Bay! Your grand daughters are the best part of course.
Love that one of the baby eating BB's with a side of dirt on her little face!

I need to get new rubber feet for my moms old SaladMaster. Love that thing.

Well, I just picked 20 more yellow squash! That makes a total of 54 squash that I have picked. Stink bugs are showing up so I'll pick all I can before the bugs or heat kills the vines.

husband just went to kitchen to heat up leftover fritters.......

Mary

I would have to go count them. I planted the whole packet of seed. After years of gardening in beds in the front yard and only being able to plant a few of this or a few of that, I PLANTED THE WHOLE PACKET OF SEEDS!! Not all of them came up and not all of them lived, but I have 2 rows of big healthy plants.

I counted them today just for you, Mary. I have 32 yellow squash vines.

And today I picked more squash, 30 of them! That makes 84 squash so far and they are still loaded with baby squash and blooms. We gave some neighbors 10 of them, they were delighted. We picked wild plums from a fence row and I cooked them while I put up squash. I got almost a quart of juice, I'll make jelly tomorrow. I grated squash for fritters and got to thinking, why couldn't I make squash bread? Like zucchini but with yellow squash instead. I'll let ya'll know how it tastes.

Yesterday I picked 21 more squash, total now at 105. Our neighbor Russell, brought over a round bale for the horses and we gave him 10 squash. I gave him my squash fritter recipe and he went home and made them, texted us a picture! This is starting to be a squash thread, instead of a garden thread.

All that squash is looking good. But the granddaughter are so cute. The youngest one is precious. Her big blue eyes match all those blueberries she ate.

The 16 month old loves blueberries and got busy picking. Green ones, red ones, purple ones---all went in her mouth. She ate out of my bucket and contributed red and green blueberries to the bucket. She had a large time. She finally got her fill and when I offered her more blueberries, she turned her head and said no. I'm pretty sure she ate some dirt with them.
