More from the garden

Remember earlier this summer when we had babies all over the place? Well, we had more late in the summer! Josh was in the garden one afternoon and heard some rustling, only to be surprised by 4 new baby bunnies! Their mama was such a good mama and had made them a great nest in the corner of the garden. We poked around a bit (never getting too close) to show the boys and check in on them and every night, she was sure to cover them up really well and put lots of her own fur in there to keep them warm. It was the cutest thing ever.
Here's one of their little noses poking out. Don't mind our brown beans...we didn't like them very well so we let them go bad. :( No beans next year! And here you can see a couple of them all cuddled in their nest:

Our garden did really well this year! Here is one crazy plant that produced EVERYTHING at once and then putzed out. All of the others have produced all along, but this old guy gave us everything he had all at once and then just tuckered out.
Here is the loot after one jaunt to the garden. We've done picks like this a good half dozen times throughout the summer. And we're still not sick of tomatoes!!
In addition to the tomatoes and the cukes, we finally got an eggplant!! 2, actually! We haven't picked them yet but we're excited...3rd year's a charm!
