Patti....you must have enough to share with your entire town!! Thats a lotta stuff to plant and take care of!!! Ours puts out a lot and it is tiny...thank goodness...had to go out this morning and prop all the corn back up as it blew down last night in a storm. It is all tasseled out though!
And Jean...you aren't late on this thread..it wasn't started until the first part of June THIS YEAR...2010. Your eyes must have crossed when you looked. :lol:

When we started planting this HUGE garden, we did it with the intention of providing fresh veggies to the local food bank. They were SOOOO appreciative to get fresh stuff!! However, at that time, I was not working so spent my days in the garden, plus OFS, (Old Fart Syndrome), hadn't taken over so thoroughly as it has now. I am trying REALLY hard to get my DH to scale back. He loves working out there so much, it is hard for him to do so. He is finally realizing that he too, is not able to spend as much time as he would like before taking a break. :( So...we did plant less, and we will still have plenty to share. Maybe next year will be a bit smaller still. :D

My snap peas are about done, the weather is getting too hot for them. I have lots of small tomatoes, but they are still green. There are a few zuchinni out there, will need to check them today. What else? Tiny peppers, and lettuce that I have been picking. Only had 4 beets, think the ground is just too hard where I planted those seeds. I need to get beans in yet. Oh, have a few cuke plants, but not much happening with them yet.
I know it's cheaper to go buy at the Farmer's Market, but I just have to plant something each year. ha Our water bill is terrible here in the desert, so I'm trying to be water wise this year.
