In a word, how would you describe your garden as of today?

[The Coastal Garden]

WET! We just had rain, rain, then a hurricane and more rain....

 

[TwoCrows]

Dead.

 

[Karm]

Nonexistent

 

[Hermits Garden]

Miraculous.

New to high-desert gardening (first spring in this house), and all I can really afford to plant--time and water-wise--are my heirloom iris and herbs for the chickens. But everything is still alive!

Excessive.

We have too much of everything. We have about 20 watermelons, 12 eggplants, 12 peppers, tons of lettuce and kale.

I also went nuts and planted 42 pumpkins and squash (7 different types), not including the (16? 17?) Zucchini and Yellow squash that I planted last month.

Dead.

I was going to use pathetic for mine but dead mostly works too.

surprisingly we have corn hanging on and 2-3 butternut squash growing. The pumpkins and zucchini kicked the bucket. The peppers never came up and the tomatoes were like the little plants that didn’t. We have a few watermelon seedlings but that’s as far as they’ve grown.
Oh and that was all direct sow after my seedlings didn’t survive the garage...

everything is overgrown with weeds as well.
I’ve already told my husband I have to switch to raised beds next year. I had such high hopes

We just started using raised beds this year. It makes a huge difference!

When we lived in Virginia we had no dirt in our backyard, it was a cement patio and my hubs built me 2 boxes and my son grew an impressive garden with the little space we had. Now we have a dedicated 1500sqft (well less because part of that I fenced off for the ducks) garden area and even after being professionally tilled twice and by me several times (and spraying vinegar) I can’t keep it from being weedy. (My understanding isn it’s actually an inground pool filled with dirt).

Thriving.

Me? Singing "An-tic-i-pay-ay-shun!" Very high hopes for this year's harvest.

Late!

I have the parts for a raised bed. I have the seeds for a garden. Somehow, I never got the soil. . .
