Picked our first squash. Got some cucumbers finally starting, corn is looking ok, maters are getting big. Just no luck on beans!

Good stuff, even if it ain't much! Wish we had more cucumbers though. They didn't do well.

Angie’s dad is in really bad shape. The dementia getting much worse and he has had other problems too. I decided with her going to JoCo so much it would be better to not plant. I just can’t do it by myself.

I am living vicariously through you people.
 
This guy completely destroyed our garden this year! I saw him twice and have been trying to catch him for 3 weeks or more. He has been relocated.

I little haul from the garden a couple weeks ago. My corn didn't make at all this year, that's very disappointing, it's my favorite from my garden. Squash is done and didn't do very well either. My yellow tomatoes have done great this year and are delicious! The maters and peppers are coming on strong now.

Didn't get much, but the boys helped us pick the corn. Ollie insisted on using the tractor to take the husks around to the animals.

I'm seeing a lot of people having trouble with squash this year. Our first plants came out great, but then got hit with squash bugs bad. We planted a second set a couple weeks back and they look great again, and haven't seen bugs yet, but hoping to have didged them. Anyone else deal with squash bugs?

Our cucumbers haven't done well either. Peppers have done so-so. Tomatoes, also just so-so.

None of ours did good. Beans didn't make, only a handful of squash and cucumbers, corn was dismal, maters did ok.

Squash bugs murdered my garden a couple years ago. All good one day them gone the next. This year I got one squash and then my plants just layed down and died.
 
Planted corn 3 times early on. No love. What did sprout the squirrels must have eaten. Squash and zucchini were a complete bust. got only a few. Cukes did amazing but have burned out. Tomatoes are killing it. I'm canning sauce every week. The yellow tomatoes have never produced monsters in these numbers before on the same land. I'm actually hoping the tomatoes slow down soon.

I didn't didnt plant quite deep enough the first time and they dug up a good half of my corn. Second go round I set the planter right about 2" and had much better luck.
 
Waiting for the spot to dry out so I can turn it.

We are back in the garden game this year after a year off to care for my FIL.
