my veggie garden experiment went very well this year. the left half of the garden pictured here is mine. i wish i would have planted way more rows of beans (not 1 1/2 rows), only half a row of leaf lettuce (not a whole row!), and not even bothered with the cauliflower and broccoli. the broccoli has just a few small heads, and the cauliflower not any at all. i almost forgot about my spinach... mostly because it did not come up! i am disappointed that i will not get any pumpkins because i didn't plant them early enough. the plants are cute, though.:) speaking of cute, i must endorse puple beans. they are too too cool. the eggplant-purple hue of the beans are beautiful, and the lavendar blossoms on the plants and the puple edges on the green leaves are just fantastic. i can't wait to dig up my carrots. carrots from the garden have a special earthy-goodness to them. i had one cucumber plant... and that was PLENTY!!! i once heard a joke about cucumber season... yes, there does seem to be cucumbers everywhere at a certain time in the season! i ran out of room for zucchini, but i wish i had planted a bit of that. i really have enjoyed my garden. it has given me a huge sense of satisfaction. it is just great to "reap what you sow".

funnily enough, i do have pumpkins... but i didn't plant them. they grew out of my compost pile from pumpkin "guts" i threw in there last year. they must be very happy.
