Garden Update

Really don't have much of an update on the garden-really just wanted an excuse to link to this poem. But since I am here...

The garden is not living up to expectations so far this year. Last year at this time we had lost of zuccinni-this year the plants are flowering, but no fruit is to be seen. Everything seems slow. We have tomatoes-but none ready yet. We've had a handful of carrots (we only planted a handful). The cabbage looks good (but we only have a few heads). Cantalope, butternut squash, onions all are coming only slowly. Now we have (defying all logic) some pretty good pumpkins growing.

I talked to a local small scale farmer who runs a roadside stand the other day. They lost almost everything between last frosts and a hail storm in May. We may be experiencing the same. We will keep planting....
