This year our garden definitely had challenges. We started 3 rounds of seeds just to have each die due to the very late frosts in our area. So Damien and I decided to use organic veggie starts purchased at New Seasons and at the Beaverton Farmers Market. Once again the dirt in the garden box from last year killed all the new plants this year which made me very sad. Next year we will have to remove all of the dirt and replace it. The second garden box that we built however (and by we I mean Damien) thrived. I planted zucchini, cucumbers and corn all of which produced many wonderful veggies. We just harvested the last round of veggies from the garden. Crazy how many cucumbers we had this year! We harvested about 30 large cucumbers from just one plant and it's still producing. Almost every stock of corn produced an ear totalling about 28 ears. Today I blanched and froze 16 ears of corn to preserve the tastie treats for this when the weather is cooler and fresh veggies are limited.
