Look at my squash!!

We picked the first squash out of our garden this afternoon (before the rain started). Julia's been very excited/interested in it, she walks up to us, and saying "Look at my squash!!!". She also tried to take a bite out of it, before we explained to her that it needs to be cooked... (FYI, it's a yellow crook-neck summer squash).



More exciting news about our garden: our first tomatoes are ripe, Julia had some yesterday, and she couldn't get enough. We also have a "mystery plant" growing in our garden, it just sprouted out all on its own, and we had no idea what it was until we had a closer look today: it's a watermelon, and it already has a few small melons. Which is a very pleasant surprise, as we all love watermelon. It must have sprouted out from the compost we put on our garden.

Here's a picture from earlier today: we went to the Farmer's market with Andy and Marcia.
