This year Hans and I decided to plant a garden since the house that we are sitting has about 1800 square feet to plant in. We planted: three rows of corn (produced a lot); six plants each of red, green and yellow peppers (18 plants which produce so much that I don't want to pick them anymore); six tomato plants (bad idea since I am the only one that likes them, even though Arlee will eat them some of the time. They also produced a lot); one zucchini (hasn't produced anything yet), one watermelon (still growing and I am not sure when to pick it... need to ask my gardening neighbors), one banana squash (died), one pumpkin (has trhree on as we speak) and one cuccumber (died...DANG quail)! We also had some room that Ulla (Hans' mom) could plant three banana squash, only one of which is still alive. However, only one of her's is alive, but it has between five to eight squash on it. In addition to what we have planted we have two extra tomato plants, one squash, which has one huge one that started growing when it was up in the bush next to it and just exploted into this pumkin looking squash rather than a long and skinny squash; and one pumpkin plant (which has about three on it).
Here are some pictures of a few of the gardens offspring : )

Our watermelon that is next to my thumb then and now it is the size of my two fists put together.
Only a few of the peppers that we picked
One of many squash... This is not the jumbo one... I might add.
