CORN PLANTING TIME. . . And More!!!

What a great turnout we had in the garden!!  Perfect weather, so many fun people to be around, lots accomplished, and food and games, too!!  Can't beat it!!
All six beds of corn (Silver King and Peaches N Cream) were planted, the last bed of "potato fingers" was dug up resulting in a bucket of yummy potatoes!  We had tomatoes galore, even though one of our gardeners picked in the morning...she thought she had picked all the tomatoes and felt bad she hadn't "left us any."  Well, if you look at the pictures, you'll see just how many tomatoes she didn't leave us!!!
We had LOTS of squash that has hidden for quite a while, there were cucumbers galore, and the kids had a blast pulling onions!!  And that was the WORK part of the party.

When we were all done, we enjoyed eating tasty treats everyone had brought, eating popcorn from the Gali's popcorn machine, and the kids (young and a bit older...) enjoyed the bean bag toss (more like "chuck as hard as you can!!")

Thanks to all who participated.  The garden continues to be a source of "goodness" in SO many different ways!!

(Be sure to drive by the garden occasionally and see how long it takes the corn to pop up.  I'm guessing by next Monday things should be showing up!!)
