Other than my okra, green beans, pumpkins and watermelons it produced well. New soil has that effect don't you know. ;) I am a bit dismayed that my squash has all died, as have my tomatoes and cucumbers though. Here in the South, I -should- have another month of both. :( -

Answered None of the above
I bought my house last October. This year, I just concentrated on flowers. My petunias died with the heat, but the begonias, colius, marigolds, roses, and geraniums are doing well. The tulips and daphodils were pretty this spring and I have lilly's that popped up in August that I didn't even know I had. Next year, I'll put in a medium size veggie and herb garden out in my back yard.

Answered ok, but late
Things are just now getting into swing. The tomatoes are late but seem to be bearing more fruit and the plants are more healthy than ever (no blight or pests). Annual herbs are going crazy (basil, parsley). And I will have record numbers of pumpkins and winter squash that will be ready in the fall. Overall, a good year, but things are late. Unusually cold weather here almost all July didn't help, but now we are back in the 80's again and everything is making up for lost time. I expect a phenomenal harvest by September. If things go well, I'll have fresh garden tomatoes through Thanksgiving. -

Tomatoes we usually leave on the vine until the first hard frost wipes them out. Sometimes this doesn't happen until late November. I haven't tried canning yet but I've got a bunch of mason jars in the garage.
Answered very nice
