our Harvest!!!

Last night we harvested and cleaned up most of our garden.
I was getting tired of the overgrown mess.
Here are some of our pictures.....

This is the Zucchini plant that we figured we got about 45 zucchinis off of.
I have about 30 of it in my freezer shreaded or sliced for winter use. The rest we gave away to neighbors and family

Jeff's prized potatoe... this year we waited longer and ended up with some good size potatoes!!

This is my favorite pumkin, it is growing inside the cornstalks... it looks so cool.


We planted carrots TWICE and this is what we got.... the zucchini & squash plants over took the garden and they got no sunlight!!




Our Pumkins... we ended up with 7 of them. We are so excited not to have to buy them this year.

Tietjen next to the pumkins and corn!





Our Harvest Bounty!!
Next year we are expanding our garden.
We have fun watching it all grow!!!

That is great that you got so many pumpkins. We planted like 4 pumpkin plants and we only have 3 pumpkins. But we will take what we can get!
