2011 Garden, Part 7- Garden Guessing Game Answer

It's a...






CUCUMBER!!
Here are some other cucumbers that Josh found- not so pretty!
Speaking of not very pretty, here's a look at our weed invested garden these days.  Just keeping it real here, folks.  Maybe we should start calling it a jungle instead of a garden.
Titus says, "This place is a mess.  Do I dare go in?"
Titus is the only one doing any weeding!
At least the okra is taller than the weeds.
Remember what the garden looked like a couple of months ago after I weeded?  Sigh...
I took a short walk through the jungle this morning.  We still have tomato plants blooming, but no fruit.  Peppers are doing ok- we need to harvest a few.  I found some cantaloupe that should be ready soon, and of course the okra is still going crazy.  Josh says there are watermelons out there somewhere, but I didn't see them (I wonder why!)
So it has definitely been a hard year, but we are learning and will hopefully improve next year.  At least we know we can grow weeds!

Those are some crazy looking cucumbers. Our garden has turned into a crunchy mess. The only thing still producing is the chives and the basil is mostly alive.
