Keep on Growing!

Here is one of our pumpkins. Yeah! It grew really fast and is still growing. And yes, it is hanging! It amazes me how strong the vines are!

We've got a few watermelons growing too! These are Dave's favorites. Isn't this baby one cute?

It's a lot bigger than it appears. I'd say it's about 7" diameter and about 12" from top to bottom.


Our artichoke suddenly sprouted an artichoke! We thought it was dying and then (after a couple weeks or so of non-attending-to-the-garden-because my morning sickness would triple in the outdoors heat) we found this lovely surprise. Now, as you can see below, it looks like the plant's leaves are dying away, but it has a beautiful purple flower right in the center of the artichoke! Weird? Yes. But very pretty and cool! We haven't researched it yet, but we think it might be the start of the "heart" of the artichoke. Wouldn't that be rad? We'll keep you posted!
