Bay are there alligators near you ?

Haven't seen any, but they are in the area. They are in the lakes and rivers.

So I got busy, kept grand daughters over the weekend, age 9 years, 2 years and 8 months. 9 year old brought a friend and we watched neighbors 3 year old boy Saturday night. Was busy all day Monday too. Went to the garden today.......

Nice haul. But you are going to need to tell me what the vegetable at the bottom of the photo is....
You are WAY ahead of us. Just put the squash and zucchini seeds in the ground Sunday!

@Carol Dee The bottom row is Lebanese White Marrow squash. I am going to slice them long ways, thin, on my mandolin slicer, blanch, and dehydrate them. I will use them for lasagna noodles. You could do the same thing with zucchini. I tried it with fresh Lebanese squash a few years ago, but the lasagna was watery. My reasoning is that the tomato sauce will rehydrate the squash and there won't be a pond on my plate.

Sounds good, may try it too with the zucchini.

This is the Lebanese White Marrow squash, peeled, sliced thin and it's in the dehydrator now. Blanching it didn't happen. We ran 200' of horse wire today, built H braces, drove T-posts and we're exhausted.

This is my Sleeping Lady tomatoes. They are a patio type.

Cherokee Purple tomatoes. They aren't ripe yet but they will be soon. @seedcorn

Mustard greens, they are starting to bolt, so I have to get them picked!

This Hastings Prolific corn. I got the seed from @HomesteaderWife.
