Gardening Successes and Failures

Every year the garden yields many surprises.  My tomatoes, beets and peppers were superior to last year.  Also, I have been so pleased with the fingerling potatoes! Last night I put them on the grill and they were perfect.

But I confess that I had to water so much, the squash bugs got ahead of me. I've had a crop failure. (Luckily, I planted squash in Vermont also.)   I guess mild winters, hot summers, extra mulch and my lack of fast action all contributed to this horrific infestation.  For more information about squash bugs and how to deal with them go to Gardening, Landscape and Horticulture Collection and search for squash bugs.
