Last week this is what my garden looked like:
And it was still producing:
And now, what to do with ALL this:
Don't get me wrong, I do LOVE having a garden, but I think I need to work on a little variety next year. We have been eating squash and zucchini way too much lately. And since I'm the only one who eats tomatoes, that is getting old too. (Although I did find a really yummy zucchini soup recipe that I have made several times and even my kids eat it.) We did have ONE cantaloupe that I babied all summer, and then it got plucked by one un-named two year old and left on the lawn too long. :(
But I am already excited for next year - any tips for not having my beans and peas die? Oh, and I think I will plant lots of pumpkins. Those are fun.

Looks so tasty. You can shred the squash and zuchini then freeze it. Then you can use it in about anything. I love to hide veggies like that in sauces or meatloaf etc.
looks great mindy! do you do the square-foot gardening method? my mom made a faux apple pie with zucchini!
Wow - you got quite a lot of vegetables from your garden! It all looks delicious. I would share your tomatoes with you :)
