Garden

So this year I planted a very modest garden, as I wasn't sure what the climate would accommodate or if my years in the city had made me incapable of keeping plants alive. Nevertheless, my little square is in its heyday and I checked this morning to see dozens of green tomatoes, a pumpin plant that looks like it could take over the yard, basil, cilantro, rosemary, enough lettuce for a few salads. Very exciting -I've already found a 10 x 30 plot for next year in which I'll do some real damage. On the other hand, my flowers stink. The deer ate my hydrangea to stubs, my peonies failed, and my astillbe, echinacea, lavendar etc. are anemic. Here are a few pics of garden and nightfall at barn (trying out the new camera!)
