Our Squash is Blossoming

So today is the greatest day in our home-owning yet! I could tell you all about it... or I could show you! Check out these pics.

So we woke up with plans of thinning out the over growth on our backyard hill... Well while eating breakfast Marieta noticed that we had squash blossoms outside. So we ran out there to check em out.

Holy Biscuits! All of our plants are flowering and ready to spit out some baby veggies. We harvested all the blossoms and baby zuchs. So.... good....

So Friday we couldn't see these guys from the kitchen... NOW WE'RE ABOUT TO EAT 9 ZUCHS!!

Have you ever had Squash Blossoms? Oh buddy... you are missing out... Everyone loves fried zuchini. Well you don't know good till you've had fried squash blossom.

All dusted up and ready to dance.

Looks kind of like they are getting a carmel bath.

To borrow a phrase from our favorite Food Network personality Alton Brown... Golden, Brown, AND DELICIOUS!!!!

One of the most exciting things about becoming a homeowner was starting our garden and good gravy has it paid off, AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! Squash, Tomatoes, Peppers, Peas, Beans, Beets... so much good stuff to come. Plus we get to work in the work in the dirt and make friends with nature. Like this guy that I found in our grass clipping pile. I'm gonna name him Smooth.

Hope we meet again smooth. : )
