Bountiful Harvest

This is our garden-a patch of dirt in a weed field that we covered with landscape fabric, cut holes, and planted seeds. We planted mostly pumpkins plus a couple of zucchini plants.
The problem is that we don't go out to the garden very often and the zucchini grow too fast.
Who's going to eat zucchini that big? No one. I had to come up with another use for the biggest one.

We also encountered another problem in the garden after neglecting it for a while. It was like a scary scene from a b-movie called, "Attack of the Monster Slug."
These stupid banana slugs are everywhere in the garden and find the Baby Boo pumpkins particularly tasty. Many ended up on our neighbor's shed roof left to fry. The rest were killed by something called "Slug Death". I'm hoping we'll get some pumpkins out of the garden before they rot or are eaten!
