hunter and gatherer (of veggies)

The last seven days I have brought in lots of veggies from the garden. I love looking through my garden everyday to see what is waiting for me. Some days I might find just a few small tomatoes and a green bean or two. Other days I need a large container to get everything in the house. 

 As you can see, the butternut squash are starting to pile up and there are several more waiting to be picked. Butternut squash is one of my favorite things because there are so many yummy things you can make with it.
Also, this year, our corn has been so sweet it is like eating a tasty dessert. We haven't even bothered cooking them.
I planted an heirloom variety of cucumber and for the life of me I can't remember which one but they are so good and refreshing. They are the perfect cucumbery, melony, mildly sweet cucumber. I will have to figure out what it is because we are in love with them. They make great pickles, salads, sandwiches and snacks. The bonus is that I planted A LOT and they are coming out our ears so I get to turn some of them into freezer pickles and enjoy them through the winter..........If they last that long.
