Long overdue garden update & BYS

I must admit that although my garden has boomed over the last few weeks, I have been too ashamed to share because of the boom of weeds that has accompanied. Instead of going out and weeding every few days, I let it get completely out of control. Today was my day off and I finally went out there and fought back. Ammon, the sweet husband that he is, was happily by my side helping. Now I can show pictures of how excitingly big everything has grown!

We got lots of delicious peas, but not enough. Next year I will plants 3X as many!

Hilariously weedy jungle....

 The lovely Cantaloupe plant...

Lettuce! It's ready to be eaten. If only I liked salad...

My green onions didn't do so well. I only have three stalks coming up. Oh well...

 Here is the enormous Zucchini plant. Have I ever told you about the first time I planted Zucchini? I planted ten seeds...In a single rubbermaid bin...How was I suppose to know how monstrous they are? Haha. FYI, one single zucchini seed will grow to this beastly size and will yield anywhere from 10 to 20 zukes. I can't wait for Zucchini bread!

 The corn is in the back. There are three tomato plants (which all now have blossoms and each has at least one little green tomater!). The cantaloupe is on the right.

So there you have it-- my garden. I already have some big plans for next year's garden and I'm really excited! If you need tomatoes or zuke, you know who to call. I'm pretty sure we are going to have an abundance. :)

In other news...

Ammon and I had an incredible weekend. We were counselors for the Boise Youth Spectacular. Our 16 kids were incredible! Our group (JOB!!!) clicked so well and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. There were some incredible speakers, hilarious comedians, great musicians, and so much fun to be had. We are so grateful to have had such an amazing experience, and we can't wait to be counselors again next year!

We love you JOB!
