I was just thrilled this year to have a spot to plant a vegetable garden. I knew it would be a bit of a challenge as we have a fairly shady backyard and let's face it, a very short growing season. I made a few critical errors in the beginning - not watering with enough frequency and not fertilizing. That said we had some successes - greens and well, greens. Nathan deemed it a fantastic salad! Our beets and carrots didn't take off. I do need to give credit to our tomatoes and they may fall into the success category if I can get another batch to ripen, though our plants weren't dripping with toms like they should be. The kids loved tending the garden and we're already making big plans for next year!
