My gardens always start out great, and then go downhill quickly.
I have more bugs than anyone should. Squash bugs and borers have killed my yellow squash, zucchini and pumpkins. We did get two real pumpkins, though! Connor has already made one jack-o-lantern, but the pumpkin wasn't quite ripe yet and it only lasted a day or two.
My echinacea is blooming, and it's purple! I bought white, because that was all they had. It is gorgeous. I'm still getting tomatoes, and my bell peppers have perked up now that I remembered to feed the plants, lol.
We've gotten three small ears of corn, but the ants have eaten most of it. And I have discovered that my cats are using the garden as a part-time litterbox, and that's what's been destroying my seedlings. Anyone want some cats? :)
The cucumbers are growing wonderfully, but they're bitter! So they look great, but we can't eat them. Bleah.

BTW- have I mentioned how glad I am that you're back? I missed your blogging while you were gone!
