Garden bounty...sort of.

I learned an important lesson this year.  You can't really grow vegetables in the shade.  We just don't get full sun anywhere in our yard because of mature trees and neighboring rooflines.  We tried to grow tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, and carrots.  We got a few beans, and about 3 tomatoes. The cucumbers started off OK, but could never grow to full size because of the lack of sun.  Oh well. It was fun making the attempt!

I'll have to research "shade vegetables" next year...or maybe just go for herbs.
