Garden Update

I am sad today this is not a happy post.  We have not been as luck as last year with the garden.  It has been a combination of poor soil, insects, heat and now rain (hurricanes)!  We are pretty bummed about the results of the garden- it seems like every time we are getting ready to harvest something it either gets eaten by stink bugs or it rains for weeks and rots or explodes- have you ever seen a tomato explode?!?! EWW!

We went on vacation the end of July and when we came back the Community Center Garden was a sad sight! Our entire garden was infested with stink bugs and most of the squash, zucchini and cucumbers plants had been eaten.  The hubby decided it would be best to pull them all up.

The backyard garden was a little rough as well but without the infestation- a little more on the dry side. THEN hurricane Irene passed over and we find this....

The boys had a great idea...

Yes Zucchini Baseball!!  Never a dull moment!!
