our garden

is BUSTLING!! We have tons and tons (like over 100) tomatoes, a little zucchini growing as well as a couple cucumbers and of course we've been making salads with our lettuce and that basil is growing like crazy. here's some proof:
cherry tomatoes
my cutie
these are our tomato plants, see all the tomatoes getting ready to turn red?!
lettuce
basil
the one in front is a jalapeno pepper plant &a green pepper plant in the back
canteloupe!
zucchini-they've gotten huge!
bb zucchini growing away!
cucumber
we picked the ripest cherry tomato we had, chopped it in half & indulged. absolutely DELICIOUS!! 
So, at the beginning of the summer when we were first planting said garden, our neighbor gave us 4 squash plants &we always thought that they were zucchini or cucumbers (they're chinese and don't really know the names of the plants in english) so then last week, Tom (our neighbor) says "oh, your pumpkin plant is growing big already!" I thought "PUMPKIN? we have a pumpkin plant?" yes, we do indeed have a pumpkin plant. Perfect for October.

hey ashley,
how have you been. I love following your blog. I was trying to figure out how you got your header picture to be so big. If you could teach me that would be great. Thanks

You are so darling! I am jealous that you guys have such a lush, beautiful garden to eat from! Makes me want to come visit NOW and eat it up with you. So sad about possibly not seeing you. We need to work it out. Love you!!!
