Garden today - oh, so close!

We're so close to having vegetables just flooding us! Unfortunately, it looks as though just as some plants are about to really come in well, others aren't going to make it. The squash plants that have been producing the bad squash don't appear to be improving at all and the plant that produced the almost ripe Sweet 100s I blogged about a few days ago doesn't look like it's going to survive, either. In fact, most of the container vegetables on that side of the yard look bad but the container vegetables on the other side look fine. Hmmmmm

Anyway, here are a few pictures of what I see today in our planting tables...

As a side note, tonight's dinner wasn't too exciting. We had fried chicken from the local grocery deli. I hate to admit it, but they have the best fried chicken in this one horse town.

Oh my mouth is watering already looking at your beautiful garden. Sadly, my garden only has strawberries, rhubarb and herbs this year as we have sold the house and will be moving June 28. I will have time to put in a few vegetables though.

Happy Gardening!

Oh, I'd love to have strawberries growing but that's something we just don't have luck with. Maybe we'll try again next year! I do have some mints, oregano, lavender, and a few other culinary things growing. :) 1101u1Enjoy the berries, rhubarb, and herbs!
