Me-
Tomatoes did fairly well, corn did not do well (no harvest so far, only one surviving plant), I got one very delicious cucumber after having to germinate 2 entire packets of seeds to get one fucking plant, beets did alright, the one onion I had left did fairly well, the romaine lettuce did so well I planted some more for fall, was way too hot for broccoli and the heads were all sparse and tasteless, zucchini did OK not great.
I feel like I could have stepped each plant up one tier at least if I actually had full sun, unfortunately full sun only exists between late june and early september, so while the temperatures stay warm, the plants really just don't have enough sunlight to do their best unfortunately (leafy greens are an exception, they do better in part shade usually).

Started out okay but I ran out of steam after breaking up with my girlfriend and let everything go for a while too long. Actually lucked out with rain this year and things didn't require constant attention like last year, but still lost most of the beans, carrots, radishes and lettuce I had going. Last year I set up a drip system but never got around to it this year, and the effects were obvious. Those fuckers sure love that water.
There have been a couple nice peppers and tomatoes I was able to catch at the right time, and my herbs (mostly peppermint) are always happy anyway it seems like. So could be worse but overall, one of the weakest years yet for the garden. My blackberries never even showed up, fags.
Getting some trees taken out this month though which should make for a whole different ballgame next year. May try a couple hens again next year too. Wish I had the room for some bees.
