We have tried growing a garden over the years, with limited success. Some years better than others. We haven't really tried for several years. It is VERY hard to grow a garden in the desert. And probably more expensive than it is worth.............nevertheless, we have been asked to grow a garden for years, so we tried again this year. We had a small one last year, but this year's is a little bigger. Of course it doesn't compare with Mom and Dad's humongous garden. But we're kind of proud of it. We are enjoying our zuchini (I'm not sure I am spelling that right, but I'm too lazy to look it up) that we have been picking daily now (and sharing with friends). Hopefully next week we will have ripe tomatoes. We have lots of onions and some cilantro and peppers, so salsa will be in the making soon! Here we are in our "American Gothic" pose.
We got a little crazy with the zuchini, and we have LOTS. Wish you all were close enough that we could share with you!
We will be making zuchini bread by the dozen, I fear. I took some to work today, and it is new enough that everyone was quick to take it. As the summer goes on, we'll see if that continues.
We had fun doing this together. We worked together to plant and water it and now we are having fun going out each day to see what we can pick.
As soon as we get home we hurry out to check on our garden. The real heat arrived last week, so we'll see how long we can keep it alive!
