I hope not to be so overwhelmed with other parts of life next spring so I can really get my garden cranking, but considering the situation, it was more than I could have asked for. We ate fresh veggies all summer, I froze enough squash to last the year, canned enough peppers for the same, preserved about 8 bushels of onions as well as a bushel of garlic, and dried about three bushels of tomatoes. That's not enough for the year but not too bad either.Lisa Carroll-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273095136947961386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311594646199993014.post-34920823364906983422010-07-26T22:26:22.758-05:002010-07-26T22:26:22.758-05:00I've been wondering how your garden is doing? ...I've been wondering how your garden is doing? I mulched half and left half as an experiment in weed control. I know the mulched half never seems as dry as the other side, but I never thought about trying drought tolerant varieties with the mulch. I didn't know zucchini was drought tolerant either. Okra seems to be, at least the volunteers that have sprung up in odd places are producing as well as the ones that get water.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559847090671071342noreply@blogger.com
