All this rain is killing my potatoes.  I dug two of them up the other day and they were complete mush.  The water pools in that corner of the garden.  I haven’t looked at the beets yet, but they’re probably in trouble too.  This fall I will bring in some more top soil to try to raise the whole garden a couple inches and get the water to drain away from it.

I’m excited about the cucumbers!  I’ve got a half dozen of them about 3-4 inches long, and a bunch more just starting.

I’ve already harvested four zucchini and one yellow squash.  They were delicious!  There are a lot more coming in.

Tomatoes are getting big, but not starting to turn color yet.

Lauren’s corn is getting really tall and starting to form ears.

Here I am trying to bring my friends over from Facebook so that they will (hopefully) leave comments on the blog, and what?  Comments were broken.  It was a malformed URL on the comment form which led to a 404 “Page Not Found” error when you hit the “Submit” button.

Kudos to the spammer who actually took the time and effort to manually modify the page source, enter the captcha and submit.  Your dedication to your trade is commendable!  If only your trade wasn’t so despicable.

That’s actually what led me to discover the problem.  I noticed the spam comment, then went in to figure out how he could have bypassed the captcha, and then realized my page was broke.

Apologies to anyone who actually tried to leave a real comment (anyone?)  Rest assured it is fixed now, so let the comments flow…

…

Anyone?
