We have had a lot of fun gardening with the neighbors this year. We worried about how it would all work out but it's been fine and actually fun when we go over for picking night and end up just chatting all night while the kids play with each other on the tramp. It has produced lots and lots of food and not quite as much as we would have liked in other areas (beans and corn). Now if we can get the rest of the tomatoes to ripen we will be set with our food storage as well.
I used to laugh at Dad when we would sit down to the dinner table growing up and he would go through everything that had come from the garden. You could definitely see the pride in his eyes and the saliva in his mouth on the nights that everything on our plates was from the garden. Well Dad they say you turn into what your parent were/are. Well I guess we're there! We go through the list every night for dinner and a couple of times we have been able to say that everything was from the garden like the picture below. Pure delishousness.
carrots, green beans, zucchini-onions, broccoli, cucumbers, green peppers 
We've done onions before but they are always about the size of a baseball. Well not this year. I think we've finally figured out how to grow them well. Look at this guy, the picture doesn't do it justice, it was seriously a lot bigger than a softball.
NICE MELONS!
(totally Steve's idea-he's been planning this photo for the past week, to bad they weren't the same kind-crenshaw and cantaloupe)
LOOK AT THOSE MELONS
