Garden gets an A+

From meager beginnings came plentiful harvest! GrumpyCrazyUncle done did good! Here's a guy who's not supposed to hang out in the sun, has Arthur waaay worse than alot of zombie ER whiners, broke his neck in younger years, had eye surgery in the spring and got stuck with a wife who would rather lick a toilet than mess around in the garden.(not me-the other wife)...and yet his labors yielded this almost final tally. 63 qts green bean 3+ qts dried peas 22 pts corn 7 qts corn 4 pts boring salsa 5 qts spagetti sauce 97+pts tomato sauce +all the goodies we've eaten so far. We are blessed! I read so many bloggers who's gardens were a near or total flop this year. We've had weird weather too but ours so much prospered anyway! He only planted 1 cucumber and we had to pitch a good portion as we couldn't eat em all. Most of his regular table tomatos were a flop. He learned alot about what he'll do next year for them. And that greenhouse? All put together by hisownself with mostly stuff scrounged from other projects. He's really clever. Me? I get messed up with detailed printed directions.
