Muddy Saturday....

This summer the Tipton's planted a garden with squash, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, cantalope, honeydew, tomatoes, flowers, basil and rosemary. We enjoyed working together to plant, weed and harvest the produce and we're already looking forward to improvements and expansions for next summer.

The delicious vegetables fed us many nights and we had enough to share with friends. Our favorite dish from the veggies quickly became homemade tomato sauce which we used for pizza, YUM!

Since, all good things must come to an end, today we cleaned out the squash, zucchini and cucumber (along with a few weeds). We replanted the rosemary and basil to bring indoors. Because of recent rain, we had several inches of mud in the garden. Of course, if there's mud - Jonathan must play in it! Here are a few photos of the garden clean up.

How long did it take you too clean up your little mud monster?? =) It looks like Jonathan is ALL boy!!! How fun!!!! I'm glad you have a place to let him run around and get dirty. Your garden sounds wonderful. I wish we could have a big garden in the "back yard". We didn't even get any flowers planted this year. Ashleigh and I are thinking of getting rid of some the ivy that is on the back of her apartment. Hope all is well. We miss you!!!!
