Growing Things

My garden is going stunningly well. In the last few days, I have picked:

• a pound and a half of okra
• two pounds of green beans
• seven cantaloupes
• a little watermelon about the size of a grapefruit
• six and a half pounds of cucumbers
• five pounds of tomatoes, in about six varieties
• twelve pumpkins, weighing a combined 195 pounds. That's right, on Sunday I picked my weight in pumpkins. I'll have pics this weekend--Laura ran off with the camera, so I can't post the photos now.

I'm about to get some chicks in the mail, finally. The original ship date was June 5th, but they have had some production problems--namely, the birds I want aren't laying.

Finally, if you are interested in growing babies, you should visit Laura's Cozy Cabin. Ultrasound photos are involved. By the way, we know that one twin is a boy, to be named Walton Lane after my dad and his dad. The other baby was shy, but Laura suspects that it is a boy, too.
