The Duffy Garden

After waiting patiently for the past several weeks... our tomatoes are finally starting to turn red. After the crazy thunderstorms we had several weeks ago, I wasn't sure if my cucumbers and tomatoes were going to make it. We also have tons of cherry tomatoes growing but they haven't started to turn yet. I was very excited to be able to pick my first cumber this morning... and there are plenty more on the vine. I cant wait to put this in my salad tonight!

Dont be fooled by the squash and zucchini plants on the left. I know they are HUGE and look healthy (they even have blossoms on them) but they haven't produced a single vegetable. All they are doing is taking over the whole garden and growing into my cucumber plant. 

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

This past weekend Lauren and I went in to Baltimore, MD to catch an Orioles game with some friends.  Lauren hadn't been to an MLB game since she was really young and it was AWESOME watching her experience it like it was her first time again.  Camden Yards is a fantastic place to catch a ball game.  There is nothing like sitting with good friends, ball park frank in one hand, ice cold beer in the other, and peanut shells all over the ground.... Life doesn't get much better.  The game ended up going into extra innings and the O's won on a walk off.  The day was perfect!
