Or, how about Sarah and the giant zucchini? We are watching the three local grandkids overnight. I deliberately waited to harvest some fruit of the garden so they could help. First, to the beans. Sarah and I scoured the bushes for mature beans. We found a great number and handed them off to Micah and Seth to put in the bowl. Then I took them to the Zucchini plant to show them the monster I had been saving for them. I lopped it off and gave it to Seth but the oversize veggie was a bit much for him so he dumped it off on Sarah. Finally, over to the cucumber where we found a ripe one. Seth thought the cucumber was about right for his size, and I got them to pose for this pix. It remains to be seen whether all the kids will eat the beans. We are hoping they will at least try ONE.
We brought the veggies in and I uploaded the one picture I took. The pix looked a little fuzzy, so I tried to get the kids outside again for a curtain call. They didn't look at it as a curtain call, more like a grudge-match. Micah decided it was too hot to go back out. Seth, who was at the door and ready to exit until Micah decided to stay in, did an about face and followed his big brother's lead. Sarah, always a trooper, did their duty willingly. The beans were already being washed so Gamma made them AWOL.

ahhh...
i can't believe how big that zucchini is!
great colorful pictures, dad. i sure do love that quality in Sarah that's willing to just do whatever. she's a doll...
p.s. i love zucchini bread.
So what have you made with all of those fabulous vegetables?
Jen: Salad type stuff mostly, salsa (w/cilantro), bruschetta (?) (w/basil), zucchini bread, and buttered beans as a dinner veggie. I'm amazed how much a little 8x10 garden will produce. Only half the garden is mature enough to produce so far. So more eats on the way when the rest of the plants get big enough.
