How Does Your Garden Grow?

My name is not Mary but I do have a vegetable garden and it has been growing all sorts of things.

It's gone from this:

May 31, 2006

To this:

June 29, 2006

To this overgrown mess:

We've had loads of cucumbers and squash. But lately, I've noticed some rather, errr, strange vegetables.

I don't recall planting pumpkins.

Or peas.

Or eggplants and radishes.

They sure are cute, though. And they've been sent off to Ilene at the WIC Office in Brockton for distribution at their nutrition classes during the month of August.

I can't imagine what will turn up next.

Awwwwwwww! The hats are darling, and what a cute creative way to photograph them!

Posted by: Wendy at July 27, 2006 8:37 AM

I just took the same picture of my eggplant hat lounging in my lazy Susans, which is going off to the same place. Great minds. . .

Those hats are just adorable!

(and your garden is *not* overgrown. If you want to see overgrown I can send you some pictures.) ;o)

Oh how cute and what a perfect setting for the caps. They will be so well received.

Your garden is NOT overgrown -- it's perfect! And those hats are darling. Good for you, knitting unto others already/again. :)

What a cute post!! I love those little hats. Aren't they fun to knit?

Posted by: Jan at July 27, 2006 9:08 AM

Cute post and productive garden indeed. Are those the hats from the pattern that Stephanie posted?

Posted by: Manise at July 27, 2006 9:28 AM

Cute. I love those little hats. I have so many scraps of Cotton Fleece saved to make more.

Posted by: Kathleen at July 27, 2006 9:43 AM

Cute hats! It felt good to be sending something locally.

Posted by: Lisa at July 27, 2006 9:43 AM

I want to know what kind of seeds you planted, because this is gardening I can get behind!

They look adorable, Carole!

Posted by: Miriam at July 27, 2006 10:28 AM

Very funny! I would have loved to watch that photo shoot! My neighbors told me recently how funny they think I am when I take pictures of my knitting outside............Boy, they must have exciting lives to be entertained by watching me....

Posted by: christine at July 27, 2006 10:28 AM

Such darling hats and a very clever, creative way to show them off. That garden is fabulous, too and to grow such wonderful gifts...well, it must be magical.

Posted by: margene at July 27, 2006 11:03 AM

LOL too cute and what a nice thing to do.

Posted by: Monica at July 27, 2006 11:29 AM

That's some fertilizer you're using! ;-)

Posted by: Beth S. at July 27, 2006 11:31 AM

Oh, so cool! The garden was beautiful on its own, but what a great twist with the darling knitting!

Posted by: Amy at July 27, 2006 11:45 AM

Oh, you clever little thing! Those are just adorable and generous contributions to charity as well. Envious over the garden riot - I need to work on soil improvement around here.

Posted by: Birdsong at July 27, 2006 12:16 PM

Oh, aren't you a good soul to donate to the local WIC office!

Your garden looks glorious. Mine, not so... the rain has been a bummer to the veggies. They need more sun!

Posted by: Martha at July 27, 2006 12:16 PM

those hats are so cute! i wonder if my son would wear one...he's 2...

Posted by: taelixev at July 27, 2006 12:40 PM

The pictures of those hats in your garden made me smile.

Posted by: hillary at July 27, 2006 1:06 PM

Now see, here I am laughing in delight again - you've just got that gift. The hats are adorable, and your presentation is even better!

Posted by: Chris at July 27, 2006 1:31 PM

Those are the best photos I've seen all day in blogland!! The hats are absolutely adorable. Where did you get the pattern?

Posted by: ~Kristie at July 27, 2006 1:38 PM

Those are some very unique veggies you have growing there! Cute!

Posted by: Karen at July 27, 2006 3:17 PM

oo! cool! The hats look great! And the garden, too; impressively weed-free.

(and I love old silver beach sooo much; favorite childhood vacation thing. vbg)

Posted by: Liz (the crazed weasel) at July 27, 2006 3:57 PM

SO cute! Perfect setting for a photo shoot. I especially like the pea....

Your garden looks delish.

Those hats! O MY GOSH *sweet*

Posted by: heather at July 27, 2006 5:37 PM

That was so funny, to go from the barren plot of land to show casing the hats. That gave me a real smile this evening! Cuteness.

Posted by: Dave Daniels at July 27, 2006 5:44 PM

That last picture has got to be one of the cutest I've EVER seen!

Posted by: jillian at July 27, 2006 8:50 PM

Time lapse blogging rocks! The hats look good enough to eat.

Posted by: Emily at July 27, 2006 10:28 PM

So cute! I hope Ilene gets innundated with hats.

Posted by: Ruth at July 28, 2006 12:53 AM

Oh my god, Carole - cutest pictures EVER. Jeez.

Posted by: elisa at July 28, 2006 9:42 PM

Nice knits, sweet setting:)!

Posted by: Diane E. at July 28, 2006 11:04 PM

That's so funny -- I'm making a whole assortment of baby veggie hats right now too...though I think I have to admit that they are not quite as cute as yours.

Posted by: Rachel at July 28, 2006 11:33 PM

You certainly have green thumbs and green needles!

Posted by: Suzanne at July 29, 2006 12:00 PM
