Thank you so much for your encouraging words after my gardening report last week, I’m happy to report that things are looking up!
Here are some pictures for you to enjoy ::

My first homegrown zucchini – EVER! My husband asked me where the zucchini came from & when i told him I grew it in our garden- he didn’t believe me. You grew that? Yes! Really? Um, yes REALLY. LoL
And look at this beauty!! I’ll be eating homegrown squash before I know it!

This is one of my pepper plants. It has been growing and looking healthier everyday.
I spotted this little guy yesterday morning. Can you guess what it’s going be?
How does your garden grow?

Congrats on your first zucchini ever. I'm making a tomato zucchini casserole with mine today.
Thanks Daphne! That sounds delicious!
Congrats on your zucchini. Looks like your doggy enjoyed a little taste of it too! LOL!
Thanks Holly, yes she did! She'd probably eat the whole thing if I let her. :)

big congrats on the zucchini! If you need a recipe for it I've got some for cake and bread on my blog. :)
Thank you and I will be checking out those recipes!
I love growing things that I can eat in our garden! Congrats on your first zucchini!
It's great isn't it?! Thanks so much!
I am SO excited for you! I picked my first ever cucumber the other day (too early!). I thought I heard that someone's grandma liked smaller cucumbers because they are sweeter… not this one! Totally not ripe enough. But I've got a bunch more growing so we'll see! Enjoy your Zucchini (let us know how it tastes and how you prepare it!)…
Thank You Marsha! I think next year I'm going to try growing cucumbers, I'll remember to let them grow a bit before I pick them. ;)
Your garden looks great! Isn't it fun to grow some food yourself? I love going out in the garden and seeing what is new every day.
