How does your garden grow?

Of course I had high hopes when starting our garden this year. We eagerly built our beds and filled them with plants we were sure to see great results from. Wah Wah Wah! The combination of extended rain and no sun during some of our plants most important growing phases left us with some stunted plants and others just starting to take off at the end of July. 

Our pickling cucumbers never grew and are sad little plants only about 5 inches tall. Similarly our green beans never quite took off but are trying hard to produce beans on their stunted little stalks. 

All has not been lost. We have had a great run on lettuce, fava beans, radishes, potatoes and kale. We are just about to experience green beans and zucchini. Our cook neck squash and tomatoes are just setting and hopefully with the continued heat we can get to a harvest. 

I hope that your vegetables are faring better than ours. Would love to hear about your garden and what you have been harvesting!
