The garden was only so-so this year. More rabbits and ground squirrels eating on the squash and tomatoes and beans than we've ever had previously. I think next year we'll have to go for rabbit stew.

The Blight got our tomatoes about the 4th week into the harvest and it's the first time we ever had it get us. Funny thing is some volunteer plants came up in the compost pile and we got a couple dozen really nice tomatoes after the diseased plants had been destroyed.

Some critter (Don't know what) ate the melons, blueberries and raspberries off at ground level. Have to start over with those nevt year and I guess I need to work on some kind of caging.
