Gardening is a war we are winning!




Ok, so it't not perfection...but I've been feeling pretty darn proud about our gardening efforts this year. (This is one of those moments when pride is ok, right?) We're new to this...and very clueless. So, the fact that we've produced ANYTHING is pretty good. (Ok, let me clarify to state that the fact that we've produced anything edible is pretty goods. We don't really have trouble growing weeds.)
But, although we don't have any official numbers, we've had quite a bit of beans, zucchini (hello yummy chocolate zucchini bread!), tomatoes, cucumbers (although, they were weird looking. Not sure it was because they are hybrids...or just defective looking.), beets, onions, green peppers, radishes (WAY too hot!), basil, cilantro (none of my other herbs grew. :( ), lettuce, peas and even a couple of canteloupe (which, unfortunately, were not ripe when we tried to cut into them...and now the vines are all dying.)
Still so much to learn for next year...but we're considering this year a success!
