Oh yeah. Got the first groundhog attack this weekend, too. Hope the
******* chokes to death. Partly my fault. We were away for the weekend
and the left open the gate that leads to the upper deck.

Tomatoes (about 15-20 varieties - we'll have some earlies ripening
within a week)
Cukes (3 varieties)
Broccoli
Radishes (two varieties)
Lettuce (lots)
Carrots
Rattlesnake beans
Okra (first year for that, we'll see..)
Yellow squash
Limes (keffir and regular)
Kumquats
Lemons
Figs (two kinds)

All of the above are in pots/tubs. Lots of flowers and herbs out
there, too.

Cherry tree - birds picked off the fruit when they were the size of
peanuts, long before I'd think of netting.

Plums - not prolific this year
Blueberries - not prolific, either. Few pints as yet unripe.

Lots of blackberries on the canes

We missed the asparagus crop because we were in Hawaii. Left just as
they started to spear, came back to it all in fern.

Deer are feasting on the roses, begonias and impatiens in the front
yard. Chipmunks are digging holes all over the place, front and back,
deck and in the yard.

....so tell me, Mary, Mary quite contrary (not that you ever, ever
would be) - how does *your* garden grow this year?

I think this will be my last year of ridiculously over-doing it in the
garden. Too much schlepping, too many critters and pests.
