This has not been our best gardening year. Fatty fatty groundhog managed to eat all of our edemame, all of our broccoli, most of the spinach, most of the cabbage and most of the kale (though this one is growing back). After we trapped him the 4th time and released him across the freeway, he has not returned. But still, it's a tad depressing to see all of the empty spots in the garden.
Also, a lot of our tomato plants have black spots on them (I need to look up what this is), and the potatoes were completely demolished by the potato beetle while we were up north.
So I'm trying to make the best of what we do have. We have blanched and frozen a lot of beans (trying to make up for the loss of a year's worth of edemame in our freezer). And we have been enjoying the surplus of carrots with dinner as well as the fresh tomatoes, cucs and a few peas.
