Garden update

All I can say is what happened? lol

Well when I planted this it resembled a well organized garden Now it looks more like a jungle gone wild

I have pumpkin vines 30 feet plus long and I didn’t even plant pumpkins lol! Must be from the pumpkins fed to the chickens last fall!

The squash vines have devoured the tomatoes and pole beans 10 feet high and I think soon Jack is gonna come to climb them to find the golden egg goose!

But we have picked probably a half bushel or more of pickles already and eating cherry tomatoes when I venture into the jungle to get them

I need more zucchini to start taking off for some good zucchini bread

Guess the garden is planted in good fertile compost! lol
