All that great training wasn’t much help against the poor soil, the critters, and the crazy weather we had this year. They all conspired to keep our fruit trees and vegetable garden from producing very well. No cherries or apples, and (most sadly) very few peppers. Fortunately, our dear friends James and Polly at Pumpkin Ridge Gardens shared their peppers with us and we roasted quite a few.

The garden in early summer.
All that's visible is the garlic!
