The summer is almost over and the crops are close to being harvested.
This is our pumpkin etc. patch. It has produced far too many Zucchinis and now is getting close to Spaghetti Squash time. (see above) There are also many basketball size pumpkins in there. It is hard to see them due to the foliage. The benefits of well composed horse manure continue to amaze me.
A trip to the dog park was in order today.Daphne chased the Kong until she dropped, then went for a swim, then back to the off leash section to dry off.
When her tongue hits the ground, it's time for a rest!
Brooklyn is, well, Brooklyn. She doesn't run much anymore but still loves to swim
She has just lost the last of her winter hair. Go figure!
Too many zucchinis...that's and understatement perhaps! :) This year I had that problem. Usually mine die early, but not this time! How can it be fall already? Your dogs look happy and content!
ReplyDeleteDid you grow "bush" pumpkins, your patch looks so tidy!
ReplyDeleteHa! Our dog Ginger is a bit like Brooklyn, she finally gets her winter fur shed and summer coat on when it is starting to get cold again it seems! The dogs look like they had plenty of fun! Glad your garden grew well. Our cucumbers have been prolific--I think they must be somehow related to zucchinis. My mom plants cucumbers about once every three years and makes enough pickles to last about that long. We didn't have any zucchini this year, but a friend grew some. She made an interesting dish--"apple" pie made out of zucchinis! I still think real apple pie is better though; apple pie is hard to beat!
ReplyDeleteFeast or famine! There is always one crop a year that seems to outdo itself.
