The Pumpkin Patch

I don't claim to be a good gardener, or even a gardener, but I do have a little vegetable garden on the side of my house and I love it.  There is just something so satisfying about watching some vegetables grow.  And it's fun to try to get the boys interested.   So this past spring, Ethan and I planted a whole slew of plants and Ethan's favorite contribution (the one he is most excited about) is the pumpkins.  In fact, Ethan and Emery go out every morning to check on the pumpkins (and the other plants).  Ethan likes naming each plant one by one. Anyway, Ethan's little pumpkin plants are turning into quite the pumpkin patch.  And in honor of that pumpkin patch- here's some pictures of my little garden... 

A Zinnia.  It's a good thing we have so many of these cause I can't stop Ethan & Emery from picking them.  On the other hand, Ethan brings me flowers every morning.  I love it.  

These are actually 2 massive tomato plants- One cherry tomato and the other a regular size tomato (technical term).  So far I've gotten 0 regular sized tomatoes but handfuls of the cherry tomatoes.  Next year, I'll just be sticking with the Cherry tomatoes.  

This massive thing is our sunflower plant.  It is still growing taller and I'm not sure when it's going to stop...  

The Zucchini & cucumber plants.  The zucchini plant grows like a weed- we're getting like 3 super massive zucchinis a week (so if you want one, please come & get one).   

The carrot & pumpkin patch.   

PUMPKINS!
