However we also had a lot of large tomatoes this year.
It was a warm spring so they managed to set early before the heat came. Then there were some pretty good rains.

Nice tomatoes! It has been a fantastic tomato year for me. Two other relatives have not had good tomatoes - lots of blossom end rot. I may make them some jars of powdered egg shells for a Christmas gift :-)
Peppers were terrific (Bell & Giant Marconi) & I usually don’t have great peppers, so trying to figure out what I did ‘right’ this year.
Cukes were a disaster. For various reasons, I don’t think I will grow any next year.
Spaghetti squash was another great success! First time I have grown any. My SIL has gotten one from me which baked up beautifully & she says she is growing them next year. The fire department has gotten 6, so that makes about 10 harvested/eaten so far. I have a couple more in the house & a half dozen still ripening on the vine.
I grew scallions & regular onions this year with good success - I love onions.
Planning a fall garden - should be planting now so I need to get busy!
BTW, I am seeing that little baby bunny in the garden all the time. A red-shouldered hawk was visiting this morning, sitting on the board fence, not far from the garden. It looked like a young hawk, so I hope it will hang around & help with the squirrel problem. Baby bun-bun should be OK, hiding in the squash plant.
