Yay, Garden!

Having a productive vegetable garden is really important to me. Despite a good amount of effort on the part of myself, Ben and even Jim and Becky (who dug out a new bed in the spring), I have felt pretty disappointed by the results. The ENTIRE spring crop failed, and my carefully cultivated summer crop has only yielded herbs and half a handful of green beans. Until this morning. I have just harvested a good handful and a half of green beans and even a zucchini, which, I might add, grew in spite of the fact that I have no male plant growing. Perhaps a really helpful bee visited the neighbor's garden first. And there is hope for more fresh produce! The herbs are really taking off, the tomato plants are bowing over with huge fruit, the bell peppers are blimping, and the huckleberries are ripening. Yay!
Also, Ben comes home tonight. And so far, no call about a missed or delayed flight. Yay!
