growing garden

Some of you have been asking how our garden has been doing. Our zucchini plants are huge, the eggplant is growing, and the butternut squash is just budding (it'll produce late summer/early fall.) Our swiss chard has provided us with many salads lately (almost every night), but our spinach plants have all toppled over due to the extreme heat! We didn't realize (take note all of you future gardeners) that spinach does not like very humid, hot weather! We still get leaves from it and have had many spinach salads but we are down to just two plants now. We have already had to pull up three. Kind of a bummer but we have plenty of other things to look forward to! I believe we are going to replant some fall crops in it's place. Our tomato plants are taller than me and the cucumbers are growing literally over night! We can't keep up! Anyone know if you can chop and freeze cucumbers? The pepper plants are doing pretty well. We just picked a dozen jalapenos and we have a few hungarian peppers growing! It's been really fun just going out to pick whatever I need. Even Emmalyn enjoys picking out of the garden! The garden is practically taking over our yard!
