Where's the picture? ;) Awesome harvest.

Ok... that's pretty cool! My dad might just drink enough diet coke to provide with enough bottles over the year. I'll have to call him, lol!

I tried asprin water on my less than stellar raised bed garden and I am impressed!!! My one tomato plant that WOULD NOT fruit did, the melon vines that weren't flowering are (and I have one female flower - yay!) and my peppers, corn, etc. all seem much healthier and growing faster.

Yummmm! Cucumber with ranch is one of my fave summertime snacks!

I'm sorry for your loss. :(

They will DEFINITELY grow back... and probably stronger than before. Blackberry bushes are indestructible! :)

I would do an experimental dig and see if you have any potatoes. If you planted regular baking potatoes you may want to wait until all the leaves have died back so you have large potatoes. If you planted other kinds you could have some really nice new potatoes waiting for you!
