My garden is pretty pathetic this year. I picked tomato number 3 today -- not counting two tiny romas about the size of my thumb. There's one puny cucumber out there and it looks like 2 turnips and a whole bunch of beets. My most successful crop is something you don't want to eat by the bushel. It rained a bit yesterday so I used that and the mild weather as an excuse to not water. The watering is getting very tedious. I hate to complain. I mean, what if I had to depend on my garden to survive and I had to haul buckets of water uphill? That would suck.
