How does your garden grow?

This year in my garden, we planted a sqash plant, a cucumber plant, two round tomato plants, and a cherry tomato plant. We also planted some sunflowers from seed. The cucumber plant promptly died upon insertion into the ground, but the others have thrived. I've watched their flowers for the past month wondering when something was going to happen. And it finally did! Last night for dinner, we had squash and tomatoes with our rice and gravy. Tonight we just had squash and tomatoes, to heck with the rice and gravy. A cucumber would have tasted nice with it, but oh I love that fresh-from-the-vine taste. Pictured below is the first ripe tomato plucked from the vine. Miriam has been pulling off green ones for a while, but is always disappointed in the taste. As soon as she saw the nice ripe red one, she excitedly took a big bite, which is also pictured below. And there's a picture of a sunflower in the sun. Oh harvest time is so beautiful!
