How does your yarden grow?

Last year was a bad year for our yarden. This year the weather has been cooler than normal but it has not been quite as flaky. Our garlic harvest was HUGE!! Lots of garlic. It is yummy.... We have already eaten one of our cucumbers FRESH AND DELICIOUS! The beanlings had a rocky start due to snails. We have been on SNAIL hunts this year. I have erradicated many of them and if I see them they get SMASHED. We have resorted to using the snail bait and going for the death trap for these slimy nasty pests. Our strawberries are coming out of hibernation with blooms plenty. The problem with our strawberries is we only seem to get one at a time to ripen. So I guess it will be another year of picking and freezing as we go. Our grape plant is growing again so I hope to see some produce soon. My dad says it may take another year before we get to actually see the results. We bought it as a young plant so it needs time to grow and mature. I pruned the orange tree and we haven't any blooms yet. Guess we have to be patient. The jalepeno peppers are not doing too well. Might need to wait and try again when the sun is more consistent. Our tomatoes are growing and we have some pretty nice green globes outside. They are beginning to get an orangy yellow tinge which means they are starting to turn. YEA!!!! The aloe vera garden is growing and is so nice and beautiful.

So this year 2011 looks like a promising year for our Yarden!
