Veggie Garden Take 2

So I harvested all of ONE squash from the 5 plants that I planted.  4 are still alive and doing ok but apparently they don't want to reproduce.  The cucumbers decided to up and die.
failed cukes.

So now I'm on to the winter season plantings (despite the 100+ degree heat).  A little arugula in place of the cukes, along with a Sequoia strawberry plant. We shall see how they fare and if it is in fact this particular bed that is doomed to failure.

    Keeping trying with that bed. I'm enjoying your trial and tribulations of gardening. Way to cool summmer to grow anything, I had the worst tomatos this summer.

    My squashes mostly rotted on the vine. I think I got no zucchinis maybe a couple of the spaghetti type and one butternut out of the 5 varieties I planted. A bad year for squash on both coasts.

    You're so lucky you can plant in the winter too. :)
