smallest zucchini....EVER
things in the garden didn't turn out too well....i shoulda used somma the energy i spent on the seeds in prepping the soil. the results were: the beans died, the squirrels ate all the zucchini blossoms (which are necessary for the vegetable to grow), strawberries take a year to "take", and planting the tomatoes too late meant that the frost came before they could ripen on the vine....
i put the ONE zucchini i got next to the tomatoes for size comparison. the tomatoes i picked from the plants and put in a brown paper bag. that bag sits in our sunniest window, and the ripening happens at a slow-yet-truly-unnatural pace....
and now some random autumn picts

omg, those tomatoes are so ginormous that they make that zucchini look miniscule.
i will try the tomatoes in a paper bag to get them to ripen. tired of looking at the plants with tiny fruits, i picked them all and brought them in thinking.... fried green tomatoes? i don't know.
hey. my mother gave me her issue of Garden Gate, some gardening mag that is a lot like what the Cook's Illustrated/whatever Test Kitchen mag is like. anyway, they have a spread on a fall garden that focuses on red - a red garden - and that pic reminds me of that spread. so beautiful, i want one too.
