The first fruit of Brandywine was picked yesterday, a gorgeously green zucchini! Our zucchini plants have grown like crazy and we’ve been discussing all the different ways we’ll be eating this squash come August. The cucumbers are doing well—there are half inch baby cucs all over the vines now. The peppers, who started off first in the garden race to fruition, are finally flowering and I assume teeny peppers will come along next. And all tomato bushes are growing up nicely.
See Brook with first zucchini. See Andrew being Andrew. Imagine life with such entertaining people! Never a dull moment…
And finally, Mr. Calvin Baker, Cutie Patootie Extraordinaire! This kid’s got the cutest eyebrows and cheeks ever. After tiring of Jeremy’s lap, he attempted to viciously attack tupperware containers and lids on my kitchen floor. Ah, the noise of plastic slamming on the linoleum floor! Who would’ve thought such a thing could be so exciting?

We have zucchinni?!? I say “we” hoping no one will invoke the Little Red Hen (you didn’t help me plant the wheat…). I missed the fun! :( Though I shouldn’t complain since I was having fun of my own–getting drooled on and thrown up on by Kasey’s kiddos. :)

adam, haven’t you read my other posts? “brandywine” is the name of our little community garden (the grand girls and tredways affectionately call our homes “the shire”). : ) and yup, nae, you’ve got zucchini! getting drooled and thrown up on definitely has it’s merits… you missed nada, expect for a fabulous showing of band of brothers, part 3.
