We are really dry right now. This year's garden is the worst one I've ever grown.
I wished I hadn't even put in a garden this year. I planted with my daughter's help before my shoulder surgery, and then didn't have any way to work it. And nobody else that lives here wants to do anything but EAT the stuff that comes out of the garden.
So, with all of that good rain we got during the early summer, the weeds took it over with a vengeance!
When it came time to dig taters and onions, I ran the fork (one handed) while the kids pulled up weeds and separated potatoes and onions. Pretty much had to fork up the entire garden from one end to the other just to find them all!
It sucked!
It's a pitiful looking mess now,...I've had ONE red tomato...ONE!
If we would get a good day of rain, I think the tomatoes would actually recover a little bit, but...
Like I said, with everything that's gone on here in the last 4 months, I wish I would have just skipped this year.
