My garden from this summer (yes...this thread is very late)
I have a youtube vid, but I don't have 15 post yet to post it.
That duck is the scarecrow. This is just one side of it.
I'll take a bunch of pics when I dig it up for 2010.
I grew: corn (only got 5 ears out of 8 stalks!), okra, potatoes, carrots (fail), tomatoes, green bell peppers, squash, cucumbers, uhhhh.....onions....uh......I think that was it. Oh yeah, watermelon. Yep, that was it.
Please do not laugh at my small watermelons. I don't know why they didn't grow.

Your vegetables all look pretty good. I can't help with the watermelon, I don't have good luck with them either.
I did notice your garden seems kind of crowded. The tomatoes, especially. Plants need a lot of space, though it does not seem like it when you plant the little seedlings. Tomatoes need 2 feet of space on either side. Melons need a yard or more.
Hope next year is better for you.Use it up, Wear it out,

We got just a few ears of corn too. Our cantaloupe looked the size of peaches but tasted great. I just drooled looking at your cucumbers. So sad I have to wait until next summer to have a"good" one again.

Don't feel bad, my cantaloupes were softball sized.

We didn't have a garden this year. Planning to fence the area to keep the dogs from helping themselves like they did the year before, and hopefully next year we'll get to have a garden again. We haven't had any luck with watermelon, green peppers, or cucumbers.
