    #garden ist tot

    in the bag

    Well, the 2008 garden has been put to bed!  We hadn’t done much with it in about a month or so.  Tough to say how much we got out of the garden this year.  I’m tempted to say that we bit off more than we could chew this year; A. & I over-estimated how much we would be able to handle with an infant in the family — even an infant as good as H.

    We were a bit underwhelmed with our crops this year.  Certain things (e.g., carrots and cucumbers) did just fine, right as expected; others (e.g., the squash and, oddly, tomatoes) less so.  We had some unexpected problems this year, too:  a couple of times we would harvest something only to find it was DOA at home (e.g., some butternut squash that were punctured) and we had some problems with theft (e.g., tomatoes and butternut squash).

    All in all, not a bad year but not as good as last year, either.  Next year is…  questionable.

    #our (half) plot

    Our (half) Plot!

    We stopped by Medical Center today to see if the plots had been marked off…

    They were.

    We are (happily) right next to Adam and Sue’s (full) plot.  15′ x 30′ of soil in which to go nuts with tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, etc.  See how much we can get crammed in there.

    Getting close to planting time. Our first year doing any kind of “real” or “serious” gardening. Planned:

    • tomatoes
    • cucumbers
    • bush beans
    • broccoli
    • carrots
    • pumpkins
    • garlic? onions?
    • definitely no corn

    Too much? Room for more? A half-plot here:
