Garden Giants

OK, OK, I know it has been awhile. Brian and AJ went to Arizona last week with my camera so I couldn't get to my pictures! Here are the pictures of our Giant Pumpkins and Mammoth Sunflowers. I think we are seriously going to have to cut the Sunflowers down with an ax!

We have had a lot of things going on that I will blog about later. AJ's first day of 2nd grade, Kris' wedding (yes, hell has frozen over! Poor Mary) and Brian and AJ's trip to Arizona to visit Aunty Gloria and Uncle Ronnie.

The garden is coming to the end of the season. Still waiting for the tomatoes to finish ripening and the carrots, beets, potatoes and cabbage still need to be picked. Of course, the sunflowers and Pumpkins need to finish up too. AJ has promised his friend Travis one of the big pumpkins. I think we might has a pumpkin carving party at Halloween time. Friday I made salsa and jalapeno-raspberry jelly. I am going to try canning apple pie filling this week and do some more salsa. The kids love it with their eggs. Sure wish Tanya was around, it is her favorite.

Tiff turned 21 on the 16th. She bought beer at the liquor store Saturday and we really bummed they didn't card her. I would have expected her to get carded until she was 40. I still can't believe she is 21.
