Hey girl, welcome home! Enjoy your break.

I guess the best thing I can say about my garden is it is very neat.

I have had several servings of green beans, but they seem to have played out now so I think I will pull them up and start over. I yanked all the cabbage and broccoli I had. It was all being chewed to pieces by something, and wasn’t worth trying to save. So now I have some spaces for sewing new stuff.

The carrots are just plain refusing to grow. Beets and chard as well. I think our soil is just too young, and needs to be built up.

The tomatoes have a number of small ones showing. I am probably several weeks from eating though. The asparagus is doing great. The potatoes plants have started to fade in color and go yellow. I don’t know why.

Cukes, squash melons and zucs are all making nice progress. I have blossoms on all of the above, and very small zucs showing (I am ***sooooo*** excited!!!)

I am sure I won’t be able to put up anything this year, but at least I am starting to learn, and having some fun.
