It has been a rather disappointing gardening season here. Our tomatoes got root rot because of hubby’s nifty auto watering system. :( We got some tomatoes, but not nearly what we should have. Our three pepper plants produced only 3 green peppers! Worst yield we ever had. We harvested three eggplants from one plant. Got enough green beans for a few meals, but they did not keep producing long. Our three cucumber plants did a good job. Sunflowers are blooming like crazy, so we might get a good amount of seeds later.

It might be time next spring to me to take over the fertilizing and watering duties. The last two years we split the duties where I found the plants, then he did all the planting and tending, then I put up the products of his labor.

Some gardening years are Diamonds, some years are Stones!

My garden didn’t perform as bountifully as she usually does, but I was experimenting with Determinate tomatoes this season that had little to NO disease qualities to them. *Rolleyes* I already bought seed for my ‘tried and true’ varieties for next year.

Oh, I got some salsa made and some tomato jam, but that was about it.

Now NEXT season...LOL!
