I returned from ALA to find that the veg gardens are growing by leaps and bounds! So are the weeds, of course, and this morning I spent some time listening to podcasts of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and clearing out of a bunch of those.

I was thrilled to find cucumbers and squash:

There are also some green tomatoes, which I didn't manage to take any photos of. I ripped out the remaining pea vines and gave up on the beans (I planted some seeds left over from last year, and they never got any taller than about eight inches).

I've also got garlic and lettuce and potatoes that are ready to go or will be soon. Hooray for growing your own food!


Finally, look how cute Logan is:
