Our First Squash

When Jairo and I bought our first home in Utah my plan was to get the yard in order and plant a garden. Well, we moved before we finished getting the yard in order. So, we've now been here in Washington for 4 years and I finally started a garden! I admit, it is quite small, but at least I finally got something started. I planted tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, and red peppers. I got started a bit late so I used starts for all of the plants and the zucchini didn't make it past the first week. I was actually shocked by this as you always hear how easy it is to grow zucchini. So, I wasn't holding out much hope for the rest of my plants, but luckily all of the other plants have done well. Here is our first squash. Yum!!
