garden woes

My garden sucked this year too. Too wet spring, followed by a
drought that got really bad the week we were out of town. The few
tomatoes and peppers and (cukes and squash and peas) that I got were
mighty tasty, but not nearly enough to put up. I need to strip the
pepper plants and the remaining tomato plant today cuz it's going to
freeze hard tonight and tomorrow night.

did *anyplace* have a good year???

::: raising hand::: We had an excellent year here in the garden. I'm in the Puget Sound
area of Washington state. My tomatoes have produced like crazy. I don't think they'll
all ripen before frost, so I'm going to pick them this weekend while green and let them
ripen up in the house. Peppers did good, so did the green beans. We had an unusually
hot, dry summer. Not like last summer when the tomatoes were disappointing.
