This has been a tough year. Our tomato plants have flowers, or jalapeno plant is pumping out peppers, and our regular pepper plants have yet to do anything except grow leaves. Next year will be better.

I shouldn’t complain after the banner year we had last year. However, it definitely makes me want to get that greenhouse that is made to go over the area where sliding doors are.

Climate control - whatever the weather, should be able to keep it pretty steady.

lol...the proberbial "next year"......

but next year I will do things differently....

pulling out the very underproducing raspberries....do hope to plant a grape vine or two this fall...

more peppers...peppers did great this year and they are so easy to dehydrate or freeze...

more romas....

hops are not producing flowers but they are growing so next year should be good....

Unfortunately I am saying the same thing! Planted garden with my grand kids on Memorial Day weekend, and everything was going/growing great! But then I broke my leg and I couldn't get out to water, feed, or care for anything. And when I could, I found a giant woodchuck hole coming up from under the shed and as you would guess, what did grow on its own, has been destroyed and/or fully consumed. Cukes and butternut squash are practically the only things left... I told the kids when they came to visit that “next year will be better!”
