The garden is growing right a long. This weekend we finally got some much needed rain, though it did quite a bit of damage in Illinois and Iowa! Over 7 inches in two hours! Our damage was less than extensive. Looks like our zucchinni plant got knocked over a bit by the rain and wind. But we got our first vegetable!!
And, we picked a lot of the flowers that are male and won’t turn in to fruit. I’m hoping to try and fry them up tonight. I was just too tired yesterday to fry anything.
These photos of the garden were taken last weekend, and it has already grown even more since then. But look at how big it is getting! It’s taking over the farm sign!
And, we have corn! Though something ate an entire ear the other day! Raccoon maybe? Yes I have seen raccoons on our street in Chicago before!
