How Does Your Garden Grow?

Although I live in the "Garden State" this is what my garden looks like.

We have picked about a dozen tomatoes and 6 or 7 cucumbers. We are still waiting on the peppers.


We planted a few Sunflowers next to the back door. I didn't think they would grow because the plot is so small and the soil is rocky and clay-like.



But a funny thing happened the other day. I was looking up at the buds and noticed that one was missing. I later found out that the squirrels are climbing up the plants and eating my sunflowers. Well just those sneaky squirrels wait till fall rolls around and I don't throw any peanuts on my deck for them. Give the fresh roasted nuts and they think they can have anything.
