And now some close-ups of the particularly pathetic:
Romaine Lettuce
Watermelon
Cantaloupe Supreme (the weed is bigger than the vine)
Not quite what I pictured with Petite Corn
And the winner...our one and only, $60 tomato. Now that's value!

What might have been...
This Spring we planted a garden. We chose a spot in our back yard, cleared it, added garden soil, planted seeds and starters, and got really excited as things started to grow. Then the trees got leaves. And our garden got nil sun. Nope. None. Pretty shady back there! Some plants grew, some didn't. Some flowered, some didn't even get that far. Our tomato plant probably would have grown six feet tall if we hadn't topped it to encourage the one flower to come to fruition. So while my friends roll up their sleeves for canning and post pictures of the fantastic fruits of their labors, I'm going to post pictures of what might have been...

We have a rootbeer picture just like that of Belle. Also, you could probably dig those plants up and move them and they would probably survive. I had to do that with a few of mine. Good luck!
Don't eat the tomato! You have to shellac it and save it forever. It's beautiful.
We didn't get to eat the tomato. :( Curious George (aka David) climbed up on the counter to look at it and dropped it on the floor, splitting it open and bruising the bejeebers out of it. Nathan said that made it no longer edible, so farewell, $60 tomato! Into the garbage with you...
