It is really nice of you to carry on, growing tasty things deep down there amongst all those 6 million weeds that I'm supposed to be attending to.
The yellow Siamese twin squash you gave us was unlike any I've ever seen before. I'm a little scared to eat it, actually.
The peas were a huge hit with Lily. One day when I hauled her out of the garden into the bathtub, unbeknownst to me, she brought the peas with her and decorated the tub. She's sad that pea season is over.
I think the tomato jungle is doing well, even in the absence of cages until last week (that was not good planning, by the way). We have quite a hoard of green tomatoes, even though Lily picks them whenever she thinks I'm not looking. I'm counting on some amazing homegrown ones to teach Lily this year that tomatoes are not the worst food on the planet. (So far she thinks they're just green apples.)
When I brought in another huge load of summer squash today, Sage accused me of falsely informing her that gardens are harvested in the fall. Let's just let her think that is true, and I'll keep eating the handful of raspberries that ripen each day that never make it inside.
I think heaven will have lots of sun-warmed raspberries. Just maybe with less bees hovering. And maybe heaven will have zucchini plants that only produce the exact number of zucchinis you need. I'm not complaining, but my compost pit is getting pretty full of zucchinis, which causes me a tiny bit of guilt. As does the number of zucchini muffins I personally consumed today.

I love your green thumb and fun wit!
The peas in tub??!! I'm speechless, what clever, creative, think outside of the box children you have!
I'm so impressed with your gardening skills. Some day, I'll have a garden—and I won't kill everything in it like I usually do.
Why are you so hilarious. I cannot stop laughing. And that pea picture is so funny. What a character, that Lily.
Wow, the peas!! My kids would never in a jillion years think of doing that! And that is so funny about the green tomatoes/"apples" because Rebecca thought and did the exact same thing!!
Hahaha!! The peas are hilarious! Even more, and kind of freaky, is your psycho squash! That should go in the bean museum next to the snake with two heads. Maybe it can eat the siamese squash? Ps--weeds just make your plants stronger, so let 'em grow
