Yes, if you let a zucchini grow it will just grow and grow and grow.

Until it's very impressive.

But some zucchinis are less impressive than others.

I bet you'd be happy with that 'little one', though.

I did try to warn you about the zucchini.

You know, if you just switch to hand lotion, you don't get those uneven tan lines that you get with sunscreen...

I vote for shot number two. That's your best angle, UT. I mean, at least from THIS remove.

What's happening in Green Acres?

seakdivers · 09-02-2005, 08:49 PM

Oh I envy all of you with your long warm growing seasons!! (not so sure about the long warm growing thing that UT is holding though......eeep)

From what I've seen at UofA farm in Fairbanks and giant veggies in the Mananuska Valley, you've got nothing to envy for gardening.

Undertoad · 09-03-2005, 08:43 AM

I've got no pictures of it, but the 3 plum tomato plants and 3 eatin' tomato plants are in heavy, heavy production right now. We have et several, and they were great as expected, and there must be at least 12-15 more fruits per plant coming along.

Undertoad · 10-20-2005, 05:07 PM

Finally the late garden pics. Here's everything left growing right now. In front are two massive cauliflower plants. In back are the six tomato vines.

We didn't think the cauliflower would even happen. We thought the zucchini overgrew it, and it wasn't until about six weeks ago that the white cauliflower part appeared in the center of the massive leaves. And now, both are almost ready.

The tomatoes have been great, although a patch was invaded by some sort of spider or something that wound up dwindling down the plum toms a bit. Here's the other enemy of the toms: we've had so much rain that the toms got over-juicy and the skins burst.

We still have about 10 plum toms out there. A large batch was used two weeks ago to make a homemade pasta sauce ("gravy", if you rather, since it included some meat) that could not be beat.

seakdivers · 10-20-2005, 05:43 PM

I'm still envious.

Our trees have lost all their leaves, and the snow has made it's way even further down the mountains. Brrr....
