Forgotten Bounty

About a week and half ago, Tom mowed Maine.  Or it seemed like it,  I guess really he just mowed our almost 2/3rds of an acre, which includes some beautiful flower gardens that we knew about, and a forgotten vegetable garden!  It was so much fun to stumble upon. 
Since then, we've had lots more squash and tomatoes.  Being forgotten has not seemed to hurt their feelings in the least!  It's amazing to me, because my husband is a wonderful gardener, but it took everything he had simply keeping basic perennials alive through the summer months in our part of drought-stricken Texas.  We had given up growing any kind of vegetables long ago as they required too much water.  To have a garden be completely neglected and still produce delicious food...what a gift!  So, you can bet we will be showing that patch some love and spending plenty of snowy winter evenings day dreaming about planting in the spring!
