I was finally able to get to my garden after being away for over a month. With my garden being 10 or 11 miles from home and DH being sick, I had not been able to get anywhere near the garden. The weeds were taller than my tomato cages. It was so sad. I had started the season with such high hopes. But all is not lost. A lot of things have survived though nothing has thrived. Many of my tomatoes have died. But there are lots left. I had planted over 30. A few of them are in great shape and even have fruit on them. My 4 yellow squash plants are doing well and have lots of little squash on. I picked a bowl full of beans ( 4 different varieties ). I will have beets in a few days. Lots of onions though they are still small. Still working on finding the carrots. The swiss chard is there with mixed results. DGS and I pulled weeds for nearly 3 hours until dark drove us out. We still have quite a ways to go. My knees are sore from crawling around on the rocks but I'm happy about what we got done.
