Things are proceeding well on The Veranda. Tomatoes are growing on every plant and there are herbs abound, but some have bolted (just how does one keep up with pruning oregano flowers). And while the squirrels are still a nuisance, I no longer live in fear of the imminent destruction of all my hard work. One thing I will not bother with next year is zucchini. My containers are just not large enough, and there is no space to improve on that. I was visiting a beautiful country house with a substantial vegetable garden recently, and it immediately became clear that it was laughable that I attempted zucchini in these containers in the first place. Ah well, living and learning.
