Alex and I spent several back breaking hours in the garden today harvesting delicious vegetables. There were hundreds among hundreds of things to be tended to. The weather was a real scorcher.Ok, so maybe not. We had 1 zucchini with another one that will be ready in a couple of days or so, and a few of cucumbers just starting to grow. And the weather was actually pretty nice. I pulled weeds last night in the garden and this morning in the flower beds. It's nice to see your hard work payoff. I really enjoy having a little garden and flowers to look at and enjoy. This is the first year my garden has done
so well. Usually I get too lazy and don't take care of it like I should. The strawberries are another story though. I am going to have to pull them all up this fall and plant new ones. I have been told that strawberry plants only make it about 3-4 years and these are at year 4. I have been able to make a couple batches of strawberry jelly so that makes me happy.Now we have zucchini to enjoy and we are going to try some fried zucchini tonight.

oooh...that looks so yummy. I finally ate the first tomato out of our little garden. It was SO good. I don't know how we eat the ones from the grocery store!
That is an amazing cucumber. I am a little jealous, not about the cucumber that you actually follow through on your gardening. Thanks for sharing about your corn festival. We have one near us too. Yours sounds better.
