Let's see those '09 gardens

Here's my till from yesterday. 3 jalapeno and 2 bell bushes left. Rather I say small trees. I'll slice these up and pickle this weekend.

This is why us southern folk can't grow a damn squash, squash vine borers. I've tried ever poison and trick on the Internet and nothing works. I planted 6 more hills today. Maybe the adults are gone by now. The only way I can get squash is to plant them early in the spring and hope a frost doesn't get them. The borers come in by June. This was one of two plants I have left. Now I only have one, but she's still healthy.

Lil' bastards!
