Garden

We just realized that we hadn't posted any updated pictures of our garden this year. We planted all kinds of different tomatoes, peppers and one cucumber plant. We have never tried to grow cucumbers before and apparently, they do great in our soil. We can't keep up! We have enjoyed a lot of tomato and cucumber salad though, that's for sure! Overall, the crop isn't as good as years before, but we are getting plenty of fresh veggies. Just not as many to give away this year! Lex did make some excellent salsa yesterday with the fresh tomatoes - probably the best he has ever made!

This is the cucumber plant! It's huge!

Here is one of the tomato plants, we just picked all the red ones, but there are a few green ones if you look really hard.

Here is Lex with the cucumber pickings of the day. Yes - I said, the day! If anyone has any great recipes for cucumbers - please pass them along! Or if you want some, just let me know!

This past Saturday marked my 35th week as well. I go in for my 36 week doctor appointment on Friday and then from there on out I will start my weekly visits. I can't believe how close we are, yet it seems so far away too. This weekend we started a big part of the nesting phase. We cleaned the carpets, washed all the baby clothes, blankets, etc...almost finished her name plate to hang over her bed (sorry, no pictures of that until she arrives :o), I packed our hospital bag, and we went to look at a Suburban. We are seriously thinking about trading in Lex's truck for a Suburban. It only makes sense with a baby, a dog and all the stuff that goes with them to have a bigger car. Especially for our trips back to Texas! Ginobili loves the ranch too much for us to leave him home at Christmas :o)
