I'm still battling cancer (it came back in January and I won't find out if it's in remission again until my insurance company allows another PET scan). I only planted a little, so I would be able to manage it. We had plans of adding a couple more raised beds, but decided against it. I planted green beans (which I've had about 5 meals for a family of four and just gave a quart bag to my in-laws), cucumber (big harvest, also gave 4-5 to my in-laws), 2 zucchini plants, and one tomato. I planted about 6 tomatoes but only one came up. I've made zucchini bread and had zucchini on the grill at least 5 times. I planted strawberries, from Big Lots, but they all died. My brother-in-law gave us two seedless blackberry bushes and a blueberry bush. The harvest this year has only been good enough to let my son eat a few as they come ready. I planted the two blackberries where there wasn't enough sun and they almost died. I moved them, and about half came back (of each plant). Hopefully next year will be better.
One of my "cucumber" plants ended up being a cantaloupe. I don't know if it was volunteer in the compost or a miss filed seed from the heritage seeds. It's got a little 2 inch cantaloupe and a tiny one about a half inch.
