Every morning I get out of bed and spend about 20 min working in the garden.  Some of it is propagating new fruit, watering, and cleaning out leaves but now I spend at least a few mins checking on my fruit deciding when to pick it.  Unfortunately I have only been working on one side of the garden and totally forgot about the other side until this morning when I jumped back in surprise after finding this huge zucchini.  B and I measured it – it was 10 1/2 in long and 9 in wide.

The soft early morning light is so pretty and the bugs are at a minimum so it makes it a very therapeutic time for me before I head into work.

Starting to get a few cucumbers in as well.  I tied a red ribbon around where the fruit is growing so I remember to check on them.  Not sure I want a giant cucumber.
