So much has happened in gardenland this summer that it’s been tough to keep up. Despite so-so attention, the summer garden was a one family CSA. Alas, it’s on the wane, and we’re digging in for the fall.

Here’s a quick summary:

• Zucchinis have been uprooted after six solid weeks of zucchini meals four nights out of seven.
• The four cucumbers caught a wilt and produced a meager dozen of fruits. Note to self: lemon cucumbers may be Nana’s favorites, but they’re not ours.
• Tomatoes are going great guns, despite totally inadequate staking and a nasty, nasty worm proble
• BEANS! Finally, after years of failure, the yields have been spectacular this year

And in the fall garden, seeds planted today by the Hurricane and yours truly:

• parsnips
• rutabagas
• leeks
• beans (more beans!)
• zucchini & cucumber (round two, planted earlier this month)
