Good news and bad news
Good news is that Iv'e got a lot of butternut squash coming and pumpkins, bad news is that the first few always seem to rot. I don't really think it's anything out of the ordinary but it's still a bummer. Some are pushing through though which is great. Soup anyone?
Good news is that I have a lot of tomatoes, bad news is that a lot of the plants are turning brown. The stalks, not only the leaves. I read up about it and it seems like I have either watered too much or that there is something in the soil. I know that I was watering more than I used to but the plants always looked so wilt-y that I thought they needed more water. I do remember the plants looking like this in October when they were done making fruit and just dying, so it's sad to see that happening to quite a few already. I hope I still get some damn tomatoes!
I also have not had too much success with strawberries and I think this is because the soil just doesn't keep moisture. They always seem so dried out :( This is why I kind of believe the reason for the tomatoes dying is because I was overwatering them. CHANGE IS SO DAMN HARD. I need my homemade compost back. Hopefully that will come next year.

Yellow zucchini's are so much tastier than the green ones.
There is no more path. The problem of a crowded garden.
