I Slaughtered Him!!

Daniel always says that I never win in Settlers of Katan.  The truth is that I usually win about every other time.  This is proof of my ability to beat him.

I am the orange.  I had 3 cities and 3 settlements.  I also had the largest army, the longest road and a victory point.  Daniel had 5 settlements. 

It's Growing!

I am happy to report that our garden is growing beautifully.   This is one of our tomato plants.

It has 3 tomatoes! The biggest one is about 2 1/2" in diameter.  We are very excited for these to ripen- hopefully it is not while we are gone to California in a few weeks!

This is our flower garden that is at one end of our vegetable garden.  I can't believe how well all of the flowers have grown.

Here is a row by row intro to our garden.  This is the Pepper & Tomatoe row. We have one bell peper that just finished blossuming and has a few tiny peppers growing.

This is our Lettuce, Onions, and Carrots & a few more Tomatoe plants.  Our carrots did not come up very thick, so we will have to plant some more.  We are very excited that so many of the onions survived.  We thought that the worms were going to kill them all for sure!

This is our Broccoli, Zucchini, and Yellow Squash.  We have one tiny zucchini growing!  Hopefully it grows fast.

Look how well our corn is growing!  It is about 6" tall now.  Soon be a little forrest.  I hope it grows good ears- I love corn on the cob.

Below the corn are the bean plants.  They were not as succesful.  We have 7 or 8 plants that look like they will make it.  Hopefully we have enough to can some.  Green beans are not my favorite, but they are pretty easy to can, and very easy to prepare, and Daniel enjoys them.

That is our garden.  We are so glad that our manager let us dig up our yard to put it in!
