Pathetic Garden of 2012

Oh, how sad it is to see our garden this year.

First of all we were late planting.  And then something dreadful (like a hungry bunny or two) got into our seeds.  So, only one lettuce plant and one carrot came up.

Record temps, record number of days over 90, and record drought have combined to make this garden sad... You can see in the photo below that only my daughter looks healthy and vital.

The corn isn't even as tall as my girl.  The green beans made maybe a dozen green beans and our tomatoes are not very good.  We've never had such a short sunflower.  sigh.  It has been a very tough summer on our plants...

After I took this photo, my crusty yard gave me a splinter in my foot!  It is that bone dry.  Ouch!
