Green Thumb?

Well, let's not get too crazy. I had an opportunity to have a free garden plot at work and jumped at the chance. The catch? I had to do everything myself except water it. Yuck. I hate dirt and bugs, but I was excited to have zucchini!

Here are pics of my garden and the first "fruits" of my labor. :-)

Can you spot the garden through the weeds? 
(They didn't weed around the garden, and I wasn't about to. 
It's enough work to weed the actual garden itself!)

I planted tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, onions, broccoli, and brussel sprouts. But, only the zucchini and cucumber are producing anything edible. That's OK, though, because I mainly wanted zucchini.

YAY!!! Zucchini plants!

Flowers = things are happening successfully!

Here are the 5 zucchini, 1 cucumber, and about 10 teeny onions.

And here they are all prettied!


So, get ready for some zucchini recipes...

Hey there - love the garden! We're planning to order prints on Monday - wondered if you would email me which print of Dan's you want for being the winner of my baby guessing contest!:)
