Some Veggies Out of the Garden

Okay. This is not the first time we harvested from the garden this year. I have been slipping big time on posting pictures. We picked 14 1/2 pounds of green beans ourselves (not including what neighbors have picked), 8 pounds of broccoli 8 zucchini, 10 cuccumbers, 6 pounds of carrots and to many tomatoes to count.
