I was so excited this in April about starting a garden. I even took a class on how to garden in the high desert (not so easy to grow things in Central Oregon!). You can't plant outdoors, unless you have a greenhouse or something similar, until June 1st around here. We had an unusually cold spring with frosts until mid-June, so I didn't plant until the second week in June. I found out I was pregnant on May 28th and by the time I planted, morning sickness and fatigue was starting to set in. Needless to say, my attempt at gardening really lacked this year. I simply lost energy. Things I was going to plant never got planted. And things I did plant, such as my tomato plants, we're partially eaten by some sort of Rock Chuck or Pack Rat or something. But I have harvested spinach, zucchini, and a few cherry tomatoes are finally ripening. The growing season will be over in about a month, so perhaps next year I'll have a bit more to give. It was fun to at least have something going this year.

I love your garden... Marshall did a great job designing and building the boxes... I think your planting and your harvest will be far greater than you know. Love, Mom
