The garden really exploded this year--perhaps because this was the best summer any of us can remember? Plenty of sunny, warm days and the warmest nights I've ever experienced in Seattle. It really was remarkable. We also doubled the size and number of garden beds, and had fantastic crops of tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, squash, chard, kale, beans, potatoes, strawberries, lettuce, spinach, peas, and hops. We had our best pepper crop ever (but still only about 10 peppers) but the broccoli, corn, basil, and other herbs were just mediocre. We definitely have more to learn in that department!
Best of all, the garden produced heavily all the way into early October.
