The garden has been a real success this year. This is in spite of the fact that some things were wiped out by deer (most of the tomatoes) and a few things never grew at all (giant pumpkins).
The watermelons were probably the biggest hit. They were easy to grow, and they turned out great. We had watermelons growing in both John and Mary's gardens. Debby planted wildflowers and they grew nicely and have been blooming for months it seems. We just cut some and brought them inside.
Herbs have always done well, Debby has a nice variety of herbs growing in the garden. Nothing is better than homemade pizza with fresh basil picked from the garden.
The zucchini plants did great, and also the jalapeno (sp?) peppers. We got some strawberries but we pulled their flowers as we really planted them for next year.
Debby has friends with gardens and they share tips and ideas. Debby is planning on some cool season gardening this fall and has some ideas for next year.
We are thinking of also getting a few fruit trees.
