Poor Garden

My poor garden.  For the first time ever I've lost plants to a late freeze.  I waited for the last freeze date and the weatherman said it wouldn't freeze, but one cold morning last week took out my jalapeno and watermelon.

A moment of silence is appreciated.

It rained pretty much non-stop last week, too, so now the soil is all hard and dry and angry.  What a sad looking garden I have.

Fortunately, the tomatoes are fine. (Homegrown tomatoes are why I garden at all.) Ignore the empty tomato cages - they're waiting for the fancy tomato plants I ordered from Burpee.  I just hope they come before we head out to Taiwan.

Last year I had to battle varmints.  This year I get the feeling I will be battling the elements. *sigh*
