I am by no means an expert gardener but I try hard every year.  My favorite part is picking things from the backyard for dinner.  We had a bumper crop of spinach this year.  I think we supplied half the neighborhood with spinach.  Beets and carrots did awesome.  First time with cucumbers, we picked a few and they were bitter, hoping these are better.  One is really crazy shaped.  Tomatoes not doing so well.  Bugs early in the season, overwatering so not much fruit, and now some bottom rot.  

A learn a little every year and keep expanding.  I hope to have half of my .25 acres garden and fruit trees in the next couple of years.
