Mixed bag

Well, my garden thus far this year has been a mixed bag of ups and downs. The beans have done okay but really not enough of them to make a mess. I don't think my beds are deep enough. My squash is finally blooming. I replanted them a few times so I'm not sure what kind I have growing now. Guess I'll see whn the fruit comes on. LOL My peppers are making a comeback but nothing to crow about. Some of the lettuce is doing well and other greens are not doing so good. Spinach has gone to seed. But my tomatoes are finally looking good. I have small fruits on the plants. The beds are deep enough because I added composted manure and sawdust to the remains of my last 2 seasons of hay bales. The problem is that under it all is weed fabric and I can't get my cages to go through it so the cages are falling over with the tomato plants. It looks like I'm going to have to stake my cages. LOL My rhubarb Mary sent me is doing well in it's new home.

My garden reminds me of my life. Ups and down, victories and defeats. But all in all it's an interesting patchwork and I'm pretty satisfied with it all. Happy gardening to you all.
