...but apparently that's what I've got. After my month of absence, these pattypan & zucchini are unsalvageable as vegetables, so they'll probably be recycled as Halloween decorations. The plants are dead, so into the compost pile they went, along with the bolted arugula and dead snow pea vines. Wonder if I have time for a second crop of snow peas?
In other news, marigolds have taken over...
They are three feet high and crowding out my dahlias. They will *not* be in my garden next year... anybody want some marigold seeds?
I'm going to dig up any surviving strawberry plants and move them to the dahlia bed... they just didn't get enough water where they were. Likewise, the eggplant is dried out and shows no sign of setting fruit.
On a brighter note, the rhubarb is looking better, tomatoes are just ripening (had Romas for dinner and they were great), and the savoy cabbages are close to being harvestable:
Here's the overview of the garden after a month of neglect:
Am currently compiling dahlia photos, so you know what to expect next update ;-)
