Pumpkin for the Punkin

This boy was ready to EAT! We tried out some pureed pumpkin from the garden as his first food. He loved it and cried when it was all gone. He got most of it in his mouth...small triumphs. Think we'll do green beans next week, since he already chomps on the frozen ones, also from the garden. Thank goodness his dad is such a good gardener!
We're going (to attempt) to make all of his food. Found some really great recipes online and a great book to read.
His sleep is also getting better, thank goodness!!!

We planted our third garden this year, and its as fruitful as ever! We grew corn for the first time and it is delish! We cut back on some tomatoes and instead tried zucchini (we let one grow to over a foot long!) and gourds. We've got the Big Max pumpkin again this year, last year it tipped the scale at 115lbs so we'll see if this year beats it out. Evan goes out almost every day to see if it grew overnight. We have green beans and jalapeños coming out our noses, as well as a ton of herbs, so if you want any, let us know before this weeks (possible) frost gets them! The carrots were a bit puny but still so tasty and next year we won't do green onions but back to the regular onions again. It is so fun every year to watch this giant patch of dirt slowly turn to a mini replica of the Garden of Eden--and to be able to eat the "fruits" of our labor (well, Rich's really...lets be honest).
