Last year was bad for vegetable gardening (hottest summer on record here in OK). This year, while not as bad, has not been great. Especially since I was stubborn and am still trying to raise only heirloom vegetables. From seed no less. There is just something extremely satisfying about seeing your own vegetables growing.

Needless to say, heirloom gardening is always a good learning experience (no built-in disease and weather resistance - all natural). And I am saving seeds too. However, with the small output of my garden this year, I have now resorted to buying my veggies from the farmer's market. I did get some veggies though, before the heat and animals (deer, raccoon, rabbits) took over. Here are some of my various pickings:

I am keeping my gardening chin up and planning a fall garden (with a few more modifications to the beds to help with the pests).
