Neglected

One word to describe my garden - Neglected. I have watered, weeded and watched over my garden and for what? Nothing, it just wasn't producing. I was sick of reading peoples' facebook status, "We just had a juicy red tomato out of our garden!" I finally made my family eat a not so ripe tomato just to say we had eaten one out of the garden. So I left it, I left it and went to Anchorage, I've left it to go to the cabin, and finally we are seeing results.

Obviously I let the zucchini get way to big, but these aren't even the baseball bat sized ones that we fed to the horses. My peas were eaten by a horse or cow earlier in the year, but are coming back nicely. My beans are now longer than the plants that they are growing on. I am glad my family likes cucumbers because my two plants are out of control! And out of 12 tomato plants I have two tomatoes. My pumpkins are growing like crazy and the kids are so excited, and I do have one that is already turning orange. Is that normal???? It seams a little early to me. So not to shabby for my first real try at growing a garden, and it looks like I have kept the rest of the yard alive too.
