gardening

We planted a garden at my parents home. 
A huge garden, we weren't sure if it would grow or not,
so we planted double and it grew triple amounts.
It was a crazy! 
 


 
 
truck load of squash
 
This is only about third of the carrots, we grew purple ones too!

 
first crop of cucumbers, I love cucumbers and really ate my heart out. 
 but sometimes there is too much of a good thing... 

This is the pumpkin that Rylie grew from a seed last year in kindergarten, she was pretty excited about it!  I was quite impressed. 

Bode using his dump truck to haul pumpkins to the porch.

I have bottled beans, peaches, and salsa every year.
This year I (well my mom with me assisting) bottled for my new cold storage
21 quarts of green beans
7 quarts of apple pie filling
2 different types of pickles
apricot syrup and jam
beets
carrots
I can't wait to line the shelves of my new cold storage

 
more pumpkin pictures, can you even find my kids.
we grew 80+ pumpkins


 
Picking the harvest....
