One of the things I was most excited about when we moved back to Washington was the prospect of growing a big garden full of delicious things. I guess I forgot about all of my natural enemies that exist here in the Great Northwest. It was all worth it. I tried growing a Japanese variety of corn called Mirai, it is really sweet. Doesn't need any salt or butter, just pure deliciousness. So here are some pictures of the Sunflowers, pumpkins, corn, birdhouse gourds, and everything else I got growing. Enjoy.
Huge sunflowers (they must be 12 feet tall)
My hyotan (birdhouse gourd)
Big pumpkins
Watermelon
Strawberries and tomatoes
Monstrous zucchini ( I didn't even get pictures of the really big ones)
And of course damage due to my enemies. Deer and chickens. I'm thinking about putting a bounty on their heads. This was a 24.6 pound pumpkin, and it would have kept growing. I'm still mourning.
