AS BIG AS A LYDIA!!!

Once upon a time, two weeks ago to be exact, in a local garden, the Stocks' vegetable garden, there sat a zucchini plant as big as anyone has seen in these parts. The sun scorched down and the afternoon rains came like clock-work in the Georgia summer heat. The owners of this garden were away, far away, leaving this garden for the care of the Great Gardener to make it grow. When the owners came back and settled down in their little home, they eagerly desired to see what had grown, if anything, in their garden. And what to their surprise did they see...but a ginormous zucchini... as big as a Lydia!

That very same vegetable garden has yielded many other crops already this summer, though not all as big as a Lydia. Several tomatoes have ripened, many peas have been picked, and a few juicy blueberries have made their way onto some cereal! The fun is just beginning here and we look forward to see what a few seeds, good soil, rain, sun, and that ever-surprising Great Gardener have in store for this little Stock household.
