Yes, that would be me. My garden was a complete and utter disaster this year. I'm not completely sure why, but I think I may have gotten complacent with all the rain we had in the spring. It's possible that I forgot to water as regularly as I should have. Still, it seemed as though everything was going pretty well, then suddenly everything died. Example: I had, like, 5 zucchinis. Nobody ever has just 5 zucchinis; usually it's more like 500. This is how bad my garden was. I managed to kill my volunteer rhubarb, which breaks my heart, and I never got a single potato - and those suckers were expensive! The basil did come through for me. Good old basil.
Undaunted, or an incredibly slow learner, I have ordered garlic, leeks, and onions for the fall. Apparently the leeks are on their way; the bulbs will ship at the end of September. I'm hopeful that cooler weather will encourage me to be a little more active in the garden, and water from time to time. Wish me luck; I'm going to need it.

Lettuces. Lots and lots of lettuces. Also kale, collards, Swiss chard. All these things will make you very happy ans you get to harvest them each and every day. :)
