We've only had a garden once before in our married life. "We" had one this year in Mt. Pleasant, courtesy of Grandma S. She planted the seeds, she watered, she weeded, she harvested...we ate. Wow. That's my kind of garden!
Amy helped a little when she was there. We met the "herb lady" in town and she gave Amy some plants. It was a little late in the season, but she planted some anyway. She would love to be a gardener.
We ate some of the first corn when we were there for Labor Day weekend.
For not planting much, Grandma sure had an abundant harvest.
The squash was especially prolific. (Surprise, surprise.) She made zucchini "applesauce," (tasted, seriously, JUST like the real stuff!) zucchini brownies, zucchini crisp, and I don't know what all else. The acorn squash looks to be just as abundant. I think Amy counted 40- or 50- something when we were there!

Your garden is BEAUTIFUL. I just can't believe how much we take for granted the food we eat. It is so much more enjoyable when we grow it ourselves and have seen it from start to finish. I bet you had so much fun!
Fabulous garden! I have always been intrigued with seeing vegetables & fruit actually growing in a garden. i wish I could have been there to pick a few zucchini!
Wow! That's so impressive! We can't wait to have a house of our own so we can do our own little garden; I really missed home-grown zucchini this summer. Two thumbs up for this awesome garden!
That's so cool.
Does Grandma S live there all the time?
What a wonderful garden! Way to go Grandma S. How is Grandma S. doing after her accident??
A most beautiful and bountiful harvest. Every year I say I am going to grow a garden. This year I had about 20 tomatoes, and my zucchini died before it could really take hold. I just need to start earlier I guess and water the heck out of it. But then again I do live in Southern Nevada!
What out for those herb ladies in Mt Pleasant. They are probably polygamists!
