Our Garden Gets a Visitor

Our garden is doing so great it attracted a goat!! A goat in the suburbs, believe it or not. Actually, we have no idea where the goat came from or why it decided to stop by our house, but it definitely surprised us and made us really happy. :) Unfortunately, we could not keep it.

I named it GOATYE! lol

Day 53: First Squash + More Tomatoes

We are really surprised at how big the leaves are getting.We need to go out there and fix the support system. The leaves are getting so big that they are blocking the sun from the cilantro on the left and the strawberries on the right. : ( 

 

 Tomatoes continue to grow. We haven't pulled out any yet because we are waiting for them to turn red.

The most surprising thing was the gigantic squash we found buried under all the squash leaves. Check it out!

  

We went inside and measured it. It was 10 inches long!

 

A better view of the cucumber plants- the plants are finally getting big and all of them are flowering. In this picture, you can see the damage the squash leaves did to the second strawberry plant. We might replant it in another location this weekend so it can get more sun.

 

The potato vines continue to grow and grab on to the fence. You can also see how big the tomato plant has gotten to the left side of the potato vine- they are almost the same height now!
