I go on vacation and come home to this...

We did have a few that weren't so ginormous that we will actually be able to eat. You can't eat them when they're this big, they taste nasty.

Muriel! Wow! You are a little gardener. I am so impressed! They look fabulous. Too bad they didn't taste so great! Way to go though!

You would be more impressed if you saw our garden. It's chock full of tomatoes (regular, cherry and grape), cucumbers (that are struggling unlike last year), peppers (also struggling just like last year), carrots (that my son planted for scouts), onions (purple and green) and pumpkins. Not to mention our huge apricot and apple trees (OK, now I am just bragging).

You have left out one important part in your little farm. A PIG! A cute pink pig would eat those gigantic squash! *snort*

I think it's against zoning laws to have farm animals in our back yard, even here in Pocatello. But I sure could use some chickens and a cow with the price of milk and eggs these days.

You must tell me how you grew the baseball! I can take that knowledge and hopefully it will apply to growing golf balls. I seem to always run out of those!

Our cucumbers are struggling this year, too. But the Little Ms.es got to pick a tomato for their BLTs last night. Very exciting!

It's a complicated and exact science to grow a baseball
