Are you sure you don't live too close to Indian Point? ;-)

Great Job ! I wish I had the R O O M for a decent-sized garden. It all
looks terrific.

What's the expected 'shelf life' of those yellow winter squashes? Okra,
huh?? Gumbo time, maybe????

Most everyone can have a decent sized garden, I only use about two
thirds of mine for vegetable, it's too big, so I devoted a third to
berries. You'd be amazed at how much you can grow in a small garden,
a 12' x 12' plot will produce more than a family of four can consume,
anything larger and you'll be giving more away than you can consume...
there are plenty of valid excuses (like ground is all rock, water is
difficult to obtain, condo association prohibits, too infirm, etc.)
but space is the one excuse I don't buy... can even grow plenty in
tiered raised beds and pots.

I slice and freeze the okra, will go into soups during winter... okra
is very easy to grow and its blossoms put orchids to shame.

Those are actually summer squash, like giant patty pan... the shelf
life is about the same, short, so I give a lot away... I grilled some
a couple of weeks ago, with chicken breasts, and posted the pictures.

Genesee Cream Ale, and in cans? That stuff is $4/six pack? You
*are* a big spender. Do you have a case of Lucky Lager fro when
that's gone?

I envy you your well and garden. :-)

Looks good for the most part, but those Okra are a bit big.
I prefer to pick them at least 1/2 that size.

Mom and I learned the hard way to harvest Okra bushes almost daily. <G>
That stuff grows fast.

Looks great --
DH was wondering if our well water might cause a problem in our garden --
tomatoes not producing very well. Basil is doing ok.
Our well water is 42 grains per gallon.

What is that between the eggplant and directly over the gorgeous okra?
It looks like a very loose head of cauliflower...?
Well done, Sheldon.

You will find beauty in the garden. Other attractive blossoms are yellow
squash, zucchini, sweet potato. I guess every blossom is attractive, in
their own way.

Was supposed to be purple cauliflower, still it was good.
