Mary, Mary, quite contrary....

How does your garden grow?  Well, as for OUR garden, it could be better, but it could also be worse!  Despite the apparent lack of nutrient that stunted the growth of our corn, and the abundance of rock/shale and clay, we DID manage to grow some veggies this year.  We began harvesting green beans and cucumbers a few weeks ago.  Recently, we've picked squash, zucchini, tomatoes (viva italia & cherry), and peppers.  The corn was growing well, then tassled before it was tall enough to assume we'd get any kind of harvest, but, believe it or not, we've actually picked a couple of ears, albeit, they are very small.  Our entire carrot and lettuce crop became dinner for some lucky bunny that had an open door to the garden 2 weeks ago.  And we have 2 watermelons that we are hopeful will mature to an edible size.  All of the rain we've had seems to have put a damper on our pumpkin crop.  Any time there's been even the slightest hint of a small pumpkin formation, it rots within a day or so.  You can see how rocky our garden is by looking at the pics.  I'm amazed that anything grew at all!  And the last picture is what I harvested yesterday.  We enjoyed a yummy salad and breaded zucchini for dinner!
