Garden is growing, kinda

I think I discovered the problem. Last year, we'd give it an additional spritz from the sprinklers around 3pm when it got to hothothot time, and this year we haven't. I harvested a few things just yesterday, not nearly as much as last year. I think the big tree is also shadowing the garden more, so John and I will be extending the garden space at the end of the season and get it ready for next year. I want to throw some berries in as well, yum.

This is the super wee tomato pictured earlier, it's bigger, still no tomatoes however.



While I am disappointed I haven't had a higher yield, I have learned quite a few things. I can't wait for next years' growing season. Here's what I pulled out yesterday.

Check out Mr. Snail, all nestled on the leaf. I gave it to him, and set him free over the back fence.

The fact we have been getting lettuce all season long in the dry hot desert heat is insane. Neat, but insane.
