Garden Results

Well, I had had big big plans for the garden this year. Sadly, almost nothing worked out. With my potted plants, the leaves kept turning yellow and there were little white spots on them. I'm not sure what it was. Some sort of pest probably. It happened with my morning glories (though I did see a very few flowers on them), my lettuce last winter, and my sugar snap peas. Leaf miners got hold of my nasturtiums, though they did manage quite a few flowers for awhile.

I planted about 10 tomato plants, which did do fairly well. They did have a few hornworms at one point but the wasps took care of the hornworms, so there wasn't a whole lot of damage. I do think there might have been some two-legged critters that got some of my tomatoes (even had one person admit she had been eyeing my green tomatoes). ARgh!

Next year I want to plant some corn, some pumpkins (I want pumpkins for Halloween and for seeds, but they're so expensive!!!), some sugar snap peas (in the regular garden, instead of the containers). I will probably have tomatoes again, but I need to get some cages or stakes or something, so I don't end up with tomatoes on the ground rotting.
