Our Harvest

This year we decided to plant a garden and with sooo much help from my dad it happened! I was in awe every time I would look at the back door and it had grown more!! I was giddy like a child, you would think that I had ever seen anything grow out of the ground before!! Rylee enjoyed too. She loved playing out in the dirt and was even more amazed then I was when she saw the plants. Her favorite thing was to help me pick stuff from the garden! I was in shock two days ago when I looked out the door and the evil frost of Idaho had withered all the huge squash leaves. I was in a mad rush to save anything that had not frozen yet. I am sad to say that my tomatoes took the biggest hit. Luckily my Grandpa Cooper left a little tidbit of knowledge about green tomatoes. He use to pick all the green tomatoes that were on the bush when the frost set in and would layer them in a box down in the fruit room and they would continue to ripen and then the would have tomatoes well into December! Here are the pictures of our Harvest. I stood the biggest squash up and had Rylee stand by it so that you can see the actually size!! Of course Rylee is in the pictures. (if there is a camera Rylee is there!)
